Getting Back Outside

At Snowbirds & RV Travelers we work on our editorial calendar many months ahead. Th e theme of this issue was "Get Outside" and all the stories were chosen and written long before Covid-19 changed how we live.
As we go to press we are in the thick of it, but we hope that by the time the magazine is on sale, that things will look a lot more hopeful, the curve will have flattened and you can use the stories to plan your next adventure and still get outside.
According to the president and CEO of California’s campground industry association, RV trips will be favoured over foreign travel in the upcoming weeks and months.
Dyana Kelley says that “when you go camping, you have more control over your environment. You don’t have to go into crowded places. You can have as much or as little interaction with other people as you feel comfortable with.”
“Camping also entails getting outside and enjoying healthy activities in the fresh air, such as hiking, biking, bouldering, and kayaking, all of which help clear the mind while giving your body stress-reducing exercise in beautiful settings.”
If you are ready to explore, we happen to have some topnotch articles on hiking, birding, wine touring and wildlife watching. If you've dreamed of RVing full-time, read the perspective of a couple who have been on the road for two years and learn both the pros and cons.
As always, we've got some useful maintenance tips. Learn how to keep your awning in perfect shape, your water clean, and how to make your outdoor space better and bigger.
Wherever you go this summer, we’d love to hear about it. Tell us more about you by sending us a photo, writing an email, or visiting us on social media.
