Before we bought our Motorhome in 2001, we had a long history of camping.
My father (early in his life) worked for the RCAF in air search and rescue, so he loved camping in remote places and had an interest in wilderness survival skills. LOML and I camped as children with our parents and siblings in canvas tents. We have many fond memories of those times with our families.
When we married, LOML and I camped in a 2-person tent, and went on several long-distance bicycle tours through British Columbia. When children arrived, we graduated through several tent trailers of various sizes, and finally to our Motorhome.
Here is a list of the trips we took in the first 14 months of motorhome ownership:
- Nov. 2001 Cub camp at Sylvan Lake Alberta. The other fathers, who had to bunk with the Cubs, were jealous.
- Nov. 2001 Ski trip to Lake Louise, Alberta.
- Dec 2001 Ski trip to Lake Louise, Alberta.
- Jan. 2002 Ski trip to Fortress Mountain in Kaninaskis Alberta. Stayed at Mt. Kidd RV Park.

- May 2002 Cub Camp near Brooks Alberta.
- May 2002 May Long Weekend (Victoria Day) in Maclean Creek near Bragg Creek Alberta.

- July 2002 Radium BC with LOML's parents.
- August 2002 New Mexico to take Eldest Son to his college. Went with several friends and their children and spent 24 days on the road. Anticipation of this trip was the main reason we were motivated to purchase a motorhome. Some highlights:
