FROM CHUCK WOODBURY
editor, http://www.RVtraveler.com

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the tenth issue of the RV Traveler Newsletter,
brought to you by the websites and sponsors above. And a
special welcome to the more than 1,000 new readers since our
last issue two weeks ago.

One of the great joys of RVing is observing wildlife that we don't
see at home. In my own travels, I have seen just about everything
the States have to offer -- deer, elk, moose, bear, coyotes, foxes,
javalinas in the Southwest and alligators in the South. But sometimes
the greatest joy comes from the critters that wander into our
campsites, whether by land, air or even sea (A seal once jumped
on rocks only yards from my campsite). One day, while camped near
Bend, Ore., I had quite an adventure with an army of chipmunks, and it
led to one of my favorite essays in my then-newspaper Out West. I titled
it "Chipmunk Wars." If you have a good sense of humor, I think it will
bring a few laughs. Read it at
