Excellent photos, Jon! Thank-You so much for allowing us to enjoy this wonderful celebration vicariously!

Jim hasn’t posted more photos as he’s too busy chatting with everyone 
Jon’s benn very busy taking photos and he also had a photography workshop.
Today we may be inundated with visitors since as Ian announced last night the boler 50th has gone national and even CNN has reported on this event. Now we just need the rain to hold off this pm.

Katrina and I want to say goodbye to everyone on "Escape Row" up in Winnipeg. Sorry for not doing it in person but we woke up early and decided that if we just hit the road we could push through to home today. It took a little over 11 hours but it's good to be home with our pooch again.
It was fun to meet some more forum members in person. Now I can read your posts in your own voices instead of the ones I had made up in my head. Nice of Donna to wear the hat and sunglasses so we could recognize her.
Also great to see some Mississippi River Rendezvous folks, and we look forward to seeing you again next month.
Special thanks to Ian, all the organizers and volunteers! Everywhere we went we enjoyed the Canadian hospitality.
Here are a few of the snapshots I took.
I'm not sure if the dust in our trailer came from the parking lot or our neighbor...

Great photos there, Jim. As Adrian mentioned, I was too busy socializing to take many photos. 
It was great meeting you and Katrina, along with many other Escape and other trailer owners, and reconnecting with old friends too.

What Donna REALLY looks like
Thanks Jim for those photos, glad you got home safely. I recommend that people check out, as mentioned before, Jon's lakeshoreimages site for lots of great photos.
Apparently we had 1800 visitors to the event on Saturday basically tripling the numbers of people there. I was surprised how many came by our "Escape row" to check out our trailers.
Nearby our row were the "Boler Bitches" where I took this pic of Donna looking just like we all imagine her . Sorry it's sideways, I know I should have taken it in landscape mode with the button to the right, oh well, we were having too much fun to think about how to take photos properly.

We love all the photos that have been shared, thank you! We've been wondering if there were any photos of the actual " caravans" on a highway?

Gabi there were many photos of people gathered at various points but guess it was hard for participants to get shots as they traveled. This is one taken by Patti McKenzie and posted on the Boler 50th caravan facebook page today saying this was near Portage (la Prairie) yesterday. Hope it's OK with Patti for me to post it here.

There are only two Biods in North America, apparently the other is rather a wreck.
I just realized in the previous photo of a caravan leaving Winnipeg (near Portage la Prairie) there are four Armadillos in a row.
Here's another of a group leaving under the "castle gate" from the fairgrounds. Taken by Ken Shields
