Renegade
Enter the Cold Front
Winter on the prairies can have the feeling of being unworldly. It brings its own atmosphere. Almost appearing as science fiction. Temperatures drop and the wind faces visually no resistance across open horizon. The sun sets and the sky opens. Leaving the imagination to roam the frozen landscape.

Seasonably Cold
As the entirety of the prairies is now under an extreme cold warning. I will openly admit to scheming my way to warmer weather. Now when romanizing for the ideal retreat. Arizona would satisfy that itch. It's within driving distance and with plenty of beautiful public land it would be easy to keep my distance. However escaping to the American desert is off the table. The option to drive overland remains unavailable. I certainly miss my family and friends who are stateside. But with the border remaining closed to non-essential travel. The chance of an international crossing continues to be a daily fantasy. Looking back north towards Canada, there is one region that holds promise for above zero temperatures. Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Bricks and Mortar
Despite the cold snap the west has been experiencing. I decided to peel myself from the couch and get out into the backcountry. There is much to uncover if you are keen to explore. One particular trove of interest would be the Massold Clay Canyons.

Windsday Home
Today I returned to Saskatchewan. It's a chance to reconnect with family. I also took the opportunity to resupply from my storage unit. Selecting gear better suited to lower temperatures. Such as a winter sleeping bag. But along the way, managed a few photos. The winds across the Canadian prairies were brutal. The upside of travelling in such conditions was achieving an average of 26 MPG. Beauty.

Marietta 2.0
Today provided a good opportunity to perform a shake down drive. Over the last few weeks my Jeep Renegade has been received new modifications, parts and maintenance. It's all in an effort to dial in the vehicle for an overland trip in the Canadian arctic territories and state of Alaska. Fresh tires and suspension, including Bilstein B6 struts. I began in Waiparous, AB following HWY 40 north to Caroline, AB.

Make it Real
This project had been on the shelf for a while. With most tasks, the focus is not to get it perfect but to get it started. It’s been my ambition to create a space online to showcase my photography and share my adventures. I’m excited to introduce that space. Enter To New Adventures. Here, you can follow along as I hope to understand and explore this pale blue dot.
