Yes, the Tremont is where the rally was held in the past, basically just across the creek from the other campground.

We will be there on site #31, hoping to be able to see all the Escape models. We think we are in the market for a 17B, but haven't seen one yet. So we would love to see one at Townsend!

Well, I'm on my way. Last night in Binghamton, NY, tonight in Jonestown, PA. As you can tell, I like to make short hops. If interested, I keep two versions of the details of my trips. A short blog starting here, & a webpage with more photos. Hope to see all of you soon!

As to seeing the 17B, I'll be there in Site 114 starting Wednesday afternoon through Sunday morning with mine.

We reserved a spot some time ago, but I guess I forgot to post it.
We'll be in #65 and arriving on Wednesday afternoon.
This will be our first rally with our almost new 21' that we picked up last November. We did get a chance to meet a bunch of the members at Osoyoos last June.
Looking forward to meeting owners and shoppers. Stop in to see us.

We will miss seeing folks at the Eggscursion this year--what a great crowd of people, some of whom are precious friends. Our previous Casita will be there with her new owners, though, so that helps

The park is full of gorgeous views, wildflowers, waterfalls and critters, so much to do! We'll just have to look forward to the great company, food and music when we see the Egg Club next time. And it will be with a new 19-foot member of the family. Until then--Happy Travels and Peace~

Oh, Jon! Thanks so much for these photo's--they do my heart good! So many familiar faces and some new ones. Miss seeing some of our "fiberglass friends", some of whom we've known for years. A great group of folks, thank you again for the images. I'm sitting here with happy, misty eyes.

If you happen to see our previous Casita (LD 17'), renamed "High Cotton" and owned by George and Sandra, please give it a pat for us. It was a great trailer! The only reason I'm not totally in tears right now is that I know in a few weeks, we will be residing in our new Escape.

Have a great time--hope the wildflowers are smiling for you. I mentioned your site and the beautiful photo's you have taken to a photographer friend, Jen (Escape 19), who is there this weekend. Hopefully, you will meet.

Happy Eggscursion and safe travels--looking forward to more images! Peace~

Sitting in our Escape and walking around the campground enjoying being surrounded by Escapes! 17, 19's, 21's, 5.0TA all current models are covered. Also lots of Casitas, Eggs, Scamps, a boler, U-Haul, lil Snoozy's, and others not mentioned. One trailer missing is the Oliver - in the state that they are made! I guess if you've moved up to Escape, you've already moved up to the best moldable FG!

Jon, thanks much for the photos. I appreciate seeing the different trailers and set ups.

Last February we ran into a lady from Tennessee who owns a casita. She said many of her friends are moving to Escapes, driven by a desire for more space, and build quality. Think that is accurate?

Great time seeing old friends and meeting many new ones. 60 campers if I counted correctly and 11 were Escapes. I think it was 5 years ago Ian & Jenny Eddy brought their 19' and started this virus that is spreading all over the east coast of the US.

Great time this week even with a little damp weather.

Thanks for posting pictures Jon!

Tom and Cheryl--So glad to see these precious faces! We've faced wet Eggscursions before and had a great time, haven't we? A real group of troopers. Thanks for the photo--

Yes, sir--I remember the day well when the Eddy's rolled into our midst and infected us with the Vermont Virus. What great people and advocates for ETI. Those of us who succumbed to the affliction will be happy campers, indeed. I haven't met anyone with an Escape who hasn't been a great spokesperson (Alf, Wally, Jim & Kim, Carol & Parker and you guys!)
Peace~

And "High Cotton" is looking great and bringing smiles to their new owners faces.

TerrificAside from being friends, I knew they were the right owners for this precious Casita. Thanks, Tom~
