Desolation Sound - Upcoming Features

Coming Travel Features

This is the first of several travel articles planned for 1998. Only the events covering the first 30 days have been uploaded so far. Because of its content, I felt it appropriate to make it immediately available. In the months to come, maps and other features will be added and events covering the remaining 63 days will be uploaded. You may wish to check this page from time to time for updates.

Following are some of the other upcoming features. If the interest shown in the Desolation Sound Cruise is positive, I will then upload the following, as time permits:

Roughing it through the Canadian Rockies; Just the two of us. A four week (tent) camping trip June 1960

Repeat camping trip to the Rockies... with our three children. This time, with a folding camping trailer.

Touring Europe on a string. A five-week whirl tour through Europe by Eurailpass. A five-day portion of this adventure has been described in Lost tourist in Paris now available online.; This tour took place in early 1977.
