I don't know how you folks who write while you're travelling have time to both do everything you do and write about it too.... I'll have to fill in a bunch of blanks later

I don't know how you folks who write while you're travelling have time to both do everything you do and write about it too...
Mostly I'm perennially short on sleep -- if I'm out doing something interesting and cool until 11, odds are good I'll be up until 1 chronicling it so I don't forget. Which is on the one hand awesome, and on the other hand exhausting.
I'm really glad Moosehide has been such a good experience again. It's a good feeling, to be adopted family in that way.
So glad for you. How your trip to Chilkoot will have been terrific (it isn't often I get to use the future perfect tense!).

I second kassrachel's no-time/no-sleep explanation and offer another one. Maybe yaoobruni may disagree, but for me blogging an experience means being at least somewhat apart from it: X happened, and either now it's done (so I'm back and can chronicle it) or it's continuing (but I'm taking a quick time-out to tell you about it). I can't be fully present in what's happening and yet meaningfully blog to an audience far removed, writing effectively for their understanding and perspective. If you're eating up Yukon, if you're fully present for it, then it's no wonder you're not blogging (even if you have campfire wifi)... and I'm sure you wouldn't want it any other way!
