Another Adventure to Victoria

Once again I am off on another adventure and this one I have been looking forward to for sometime now.

I actually haven’t really traveled any where since January when I moved back to Yellowknife but that was only from Fort St. John. There seems to be enough for me to do in Yellowknife to make me feel like I don’t need to go anywhere.

I’m off to Victoria, BC this time around. I will be attending the Social Media Camp once ago and figured I might as well go a few days early and see the sites.

Friend and coworker Martin will be taking me up to Long Beach and Tofino. We might also get to go to Pender Island.

I have to say even though I don’t think I could ever really live anywhere else I really enjoy Vancouver Island.

It was tough leaving Yellowknife this morning. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, sunny and 22*C. Yellowknife summers are like no other.

Now lets see what I can get up to on Vancouver Island!

Driving north to Yellowknife in January

I’m working the new job this week, I’m two days in now. It is going quite well, I think, but at the end of the day I’m exhausted. Hence a lack of my side projects like writing.

So without to much talking here are some photos I took from my drive from Fort St. John to Yellowknife.

Wildlife of Jasper, Alberta by KyleWith

Okay, I’m not a Wildlife Photographer, and I even have a hard time calling myself a photographer, but I sure was able to get up close to some wildlife in Jasper – as most people are.

I do have to tell you the story of the Bull Elk you see below. You see he was basically sitting in our campsite when we got up in one morning, along with some female elk and calves. My mom saw the calves, but not the bull, while I saw the bull. We both quickly scrambled to get our camera, I going for the bull, my mother for the calves. She started towards the calves, slowly and not to close, but as she did she unknowingly was getting closer to the bull. I didn’t realize she didn’t see the bull – there were tree and different angles, etc – and when I said “whoa mom, that is close enough” she realized what was beside her. Well apparently so did the protective bull. As we quickly stepped back to give it space, he worked his way to his up and then started charging every other camper, vehicle and dog that would go near his females. Now, if this were anywhere else I would have moved on, but since it was practically in our campsite and were breaking camp we stayed. They moved away from us, but they could still be seen.

This is my odd experience with this bull elk. The wolf was also neat to see, but I was trying to drive and shoot at the same time.

From a photography stand point, I would do many different things better – like getting out of the vehicle. The bull elk was the only one I could “choose” my location and even now looking at it, I should have lined it up better.

Photos of the Drive to Yellowknife

Well with my last day in Yellowknife coming up fast I thought I should get around to sharing the photos I took on my way north. The drive was pretty smooth and enjoyable, you can watch the videos here and here.

The weather was really nice for most of the trip expect for in Enterprise where it was raining and there between Fort Providence and Rae where it was smokey.

Ready for the road, I hope

Alright I’m ready to start my journey back up to Yellowknife, I hope. The highway is still closed, but I’m still not planning to drive that stretch of the highway until Thursday.

Just because I may be stranded, I mean who knows what happens, I am going to tow up the camper. Hang out in Enterprise, NWT where there is at least 3G if I happen to have to stay a couple days. Then again I plan for the worst, so I’m sure it’ll all be good.
