2016 Escape Trailer Customer Appreciation Rally

[Carla Jean]

It was a wonderful and fun rally, and we met so many of like minds who love 'gettin' on the road'. Thanks to all of you who opened up your trailer for viewing. Always love seeing all the creative and beautiful mods.

As long as we are putting names to faces, the only thing I would like to see is everyone's forum name, either on the list or on the name tag. As long as that person agrees, of course.

From the 'hammered sink' couple.

I asked, and Tammy says they will request forum user names with registration.
Thinking of changing mine to Anonymous.

I had made that suggestion quite a ways back, and had hoped they would do it. Hopefully next year.

Probably a safe idea

Hi Jim!
No all of us were former Casita owners, but some of us were. Jim Bennet is in the back of the photo somewhere.

And wasn't Carl only a Scamp owner?

Carla Jean,

The feeling was mutual. We will honk at you in January as we drive to pick up our 21' rig in the cold weather...brrr!

Charlie and Lucy,
It was a treat to meet both of you and thanks for the extension mirrors. They work great on my F-150. Hope to keep in touch with both of you. We have your numbers!

Craig and Josie Vail are also former Scamp owners. They bought cpaharley's Blackjack and has been renamed Mis-Adventure.

Saw a 19 this morning on the East side of Browning MT . They were westbound on Montana 2. As far as names I used a sharpie on my tag and made it Iowa Dave. Worked for me. As far as SOB's. I once attended a field trial with my hard headed German Shorthair. They said no hard training in the field ( read that 2X4) and no swearing. I tried to Register him as Buck You Son of a , but they said it was taken. On our way to Sweatgrass Mt to see a lady who was a fire lookout on the Nez Perce the same year as us. Lunch in Cutbank.

Checked the rear view mirror, did we?

[Allan Bornestig]

We just like to say Thank You for our doorprize to Dennis and Marlene Moore.
It was a Wine kit all made up for travelling with all the needed tools in a pretty box.
Allan and Raili Bornestig.

[Allan Bornestig]

Not to forget Tammy and Reace who created all this wonderful happening.
Thank You.
Allan and Raili.

It's a fine couple of people who will give you a bag of Canadian Made Cheese Curls made with real cheese. Try some Hawkins Cheezies if you get a chance, you'll never go back to Cheetos. Hauled from Osoyoos to Iowa, 2500 miles, They travel well, Thanks Glenn and Leslie.

We wanted to ensure that some Iowa corn meal got home. Circle of life.

As Hawkins Chezzies have been around since I was a kid, lots of people here have called subsequent orange crunchy cheese flavoured snacks (like Cheetos) Cheezies as well, generically branding them. However they are nowhere near the same (or as good) in my opinion (though my wife's differs).

As a wonderful reciprocation, I received some good cheer (yummy booze flavoured type) from a few wonderful folks from the US, the transport of goods from the US saving me hordes on shipping costs, and some tasty salt and pepper pistachios that for some reason Costco no longer brings in to our local stores.

There seems to be a whole lotta great folks with an interest in Escape trailers from both sides of the border.

Would one of you, Wolf or Jim B, be so kind to send us photos taken on the wine tour when we were all sitting at the table at LaStella? It's OK if they were a little dark. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! It was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year. By the way, as expected, the border agents only asked us if we knew the law about bringing wine over the export limit, and we said we did. Then he waved us on through.

Because it was so brightly backlit, the faces (especially those in the front) were very dark, so I had to push things a bit to bring out a bit of detail, plus the protection glass on my phone camera is busted off...... but, here we are.



And yesiree, I was once again wearing my wine touring shirt.

[Carla Jean]

Thanks, Jim! What a stunning view, terrific wine, not to mention the beautiful people at the table.
