Out the back with Jack…
The stories behind the images…
Travel tales and adventures out & about with Jack
The first ‘Jack’ was my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Overland and, with my camera and a fleet of drones, we have explored many places together. The spirit of Jack has now moved to my new vehicle, a 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Troopcarrier, but the adventures continue…
Hanging out…
Driving on Aussie regional and remote roads a lot, I’m used to looking out for animals wandering - or hopping onto the roads. So I kept my eyes peeled…. and looked… and looked. I saw plenty of signs warning of bison wandering onto the road, but didn’t see a single one. I saw a gray wolf, and a silver wolf…. but no bears, no bison. Nada.
Roadtripping to Yellowknife
Im pretty used to road trips and love driving, especially driving Jack. Usually though, our road trips are a bit limited due to time and distance and the requirement that Im at work on a Monday morning. So our trips are mostly limited to between 2-5 hours max from where I live.
When planning this trip to North America though, I had toyed with the idea of road tripping to Yellowknife, which is in the Canadian Northwest Territories. I figured while I was up this was I should probably see if I could catch the Aurora Borelias, a bucket list item for sure.
