This little desert is billed as the most northern in the world it is on highway two between Whitehorse Yukon and Skagway Alaska.
I had a couple of emails about the area we live in so here are a some pictures of our yard in Nanoose.
We have a long growing season as a rule, the last two or three summers have been really warm, and most of us have brown lawns by the end of July, but the grass always greens back up in the fall. We don't have a very good lawn, with three dogs tearing around, but we don't worry about it.

The road from Why to Tucson is a nice 75 mile quietly easy drive & one of my favs. Kitt Peak is along the way closer to Tucson. Really nice drive up to where all the big Observatories are. If so inclined towards Astronomy you can leave the rig at the bottom of the mountain & drive up in your toad. If not, it's a great drive up the mountain anyway with great views when you get to the top. Say hello to 'Ray' at Hickiwan Trails for us:))

Your yard at home looks beautiful. Reminds me of some of our landscaping. Ours of course is completely buried in deep snow now. What would yours look like this time of year?
If you get a chance, drive thru Coyote Howls just down aways before you get to Hickiwan. It too is an interesting place.

Hickiwan Trails is reported to be very nice. Many of our fellow bloggers have stayed there with very positive reports. Also enjoyed your pictures today.
