Doug and Marg Clarke from Calgary, Alberta, were camped at a site in Canyon RV Resort in Radium Hot Springs when I stopped by one day in late July. Doug is a retired CIL explosives manufacturer and storage site inspector. The Clarkes are travelling in a 25-foot 2013 Leisure Travel Van from Triple E.

I watched the way you parked your RV, and it looks like you’ve had lots of practice.

Doug: Oh, sure, we’ve been RVing for a long time. We’ve been regular visitors here since 1968. We’re here for eight days this time.

Marg: We make at least four trips here every summer, and stay for a week or so.

How do you like your motorhome?

Doug: It’s really good. It parks like a dream and gets great gas mileage—almost the same as my pickup.

Marg: And our dog, Tessa, loves being able to come travelling with us.

So many choices

RVer Bruce McDonald of Edmonton likes the Fairmont Hot Springs area for its many golf courses, and the rest of his family love the hot pools.

Sharing drama in a good way

John and Judy Alexander are from Saskatchewan, but their business meant they needed to travel around North America. Yes, we're jealous too.
