Zion and home
We set up overlooking the Virgin River and our view was of an incredible red-streaked rock formation interspersed with cactus and desert brush.
Arizona delights
Casa Grande was our first stop in Arizona. One of the fascinating things about RV travelling is that you continually find other RVers you have met along the way.

Exploring on the east coast

A cross country adventure
An RVing couple recount their journey across Canada and through the U.S.
My name is Lynne Benjamin and my partner’s name is Fred. We’ve been RVing since the early ’70s and have literally been on the road since 2001. We call ourselves turtles. Even though we are most-timers (as opposed to full-timers) we think of the RV as our home while our condo in Lethbridge, Alberta, is the place we go when we're not at home (that turns out to be maybe two to three months a year).
The months between 2007 and 2008 proved to be our big travel year. When I completed my book about our seven years spent on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, we were furnished with a wonderful excuse to travel back to Cape Breton—and we thought we might as well follow the changing of the fall leaves down through the eastern states and we’ve never been to Texas and so on and so on.
We invite you to join us on our eight-month adventure. Our first installment highlights our experience in Quebec City, Quebec.
