May 2008 | Welcome to the RVwest eNewsletter
It's May and the RV season is getting underway. As summer approaches, more RVers will be heading to the U.S., which means they will have to cross international borders. In our cover story, Carol Ann Quibbell shares tips on how fellow RVers can avoid hassles and make border crossings go smoother. Also included in this newsletter are some updates from a few RVwest readers who are travelling through Canada and the U.S. And if you're looking for something fun to do this season, check out the events headed our way.

RV JOURNEYS
Chasing the changing leaves

RV JOURNEYS
Exploring the last frontier
Continuing our journey, we will travel straight through Anchorage and pick up the Seward Highway, which parallels Turnigain Arm, a large body of water that flows into and out of Cook Inlet, creating a large tidal bore when the tide comes in. |
