RV Lifestyle Story and photos by Rex Vogel An aromatic and visual delight, spring is a rainbow of colours and a bouquet of smells where flowers bloom, skies are blue, birds return from the south and animals come out from their winter hibernation with newborns in tow. However, travel can get costly. But money is not necessary to enjoy the warm winds, beautiful flowers and sunny days of springtime. There are many spring activities that are easy on the pocketbook and some are even free. Following are 10 inexpensive outdoor activities for springtime in an RV. Spring camping While summer may be the obvious choice for camping, spring can be an equally memorable time for a getaway. Talking about camping, Canada has so much to offer. It is a perfect way to enjoy a mixture of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, kayaking, picnicking and birding. What’s more, the crowds will be much smaller than in summer. Depending on where you travel, spring can still be a chilly time of year for camping. But isn’t that what campfires and s’mores are for? Picnicking Take your meals outside this spring. The prettier the setting, the better. Springtime is ideal for picnicking while surrounded by beautiful green fields, serene waters and blooming flowers. Local parks make an obvious option. It is a great way to catch up with friends, talk about life and enjoy good food. Accordingly, it is also great to combine hiking with picnicking as trekking can create stunning views. There are many public parks in Canada for a less-expensive picnic with breathtaking landscapes. Mount Robson Provincial Park Wells Gray Provincial Park CSANews | SPRING 2022 | 25
