Escape Rally, 2020

[Iowa Dave]

And the cool thing is that there are rattlesnakes at Osoyoos and in Texas too.

Last tip to Osoyoos for the rally, I hit snow both in Colorado and in Wyoming on the way up. Sorry, I don't do snow.

Actually, having an Escape rally in the south could increase overall attendance. It's a long way to Canada from here. Remember, for Escape, one of the goals for the rally is to allow potential customers to see the trailers and visit with owners. Some people travel to Osoyoos to do that but not as many as would come to a rally in Texas.

Hey Karl Let's spread the joy around and have one east of the Mississippi. I would spend a week and a half just driving back and forth to the Canadian event.
You need to have it at a place that would be an attraction and I propose Nashville.
Hope to see you around. Oh, love the trailer! Got the trailer in June and by the end of October I will have been camping in the Pacific Northwest, the Florida Panhandle on the Gulf of Mexico and the Outer Banks on the Atlantic Coast and a bunch of places in between.

If not Nashville, someplace in the Great Smokey Mountains area, lovely in spring and fall...

Great idea Jim! That's even closer

The Midwest would make much more sense.

It’s a long way to Osoyoos or Texas Hill Country from here ( 1800 vs 1450 miles)
If we are going to drive that far then Canada would be our choice
We’ve gone South in the winter , a trip we would rather not repeat due to road conditions
We hope Escape gives some consideration to a location more centrally located in the USA

Centrally located would be 2 miles northwest of Lebanon Kansas. I say Osoyoos for the west of the Mississippi folks and someplace with stuff to do for the group east of the Mississippi. I mentioned Nashville because Karl could also showcase his product in a place where he would have a broad based audience. Nashville is not just country music.

Chocolate, everyone loves chocolate....I vote for Hershey, Pa, chocolate capital of the world, and there is an amusement park there.

I love chocolate

Oh, and how far from Hershey do you live, eh?

That'd be like "double chocolate with fudge on top" - an Escape Rally in Hershey, PA.
I would be THERE!

Salt Fork it’s an Ohio State Park in SE Ohio.
A huge percentage of the US population lives two day drive away or less. Nice Lake , good campground with many loops, and mild temps spring and fall. Tom’s ice cream in Zanesville is hard to beat.

Well, heck, this sounds mighty nice, too. If a rally happens in the US that's within striking distance of northern NH, I suspect I'll show up at it, sooner than later. Still working FT, so time constraints do apply...
Got to get my Escape, first, of course - and figure out how to manage it. One step at a time. (gee, can you tell I'm a little impatient?!)

I would need to hear more about this ice cream before I could commit!

[Iowa Dave]

Old fashioned ice cream parlor with candy and nuts too. Large was about all I could
handle. However, if you are ever in Delphos Ohio on the Lincoln Highway, the Delphos Creamery is some of the finest pure ice
Cream I’ve ever eaten. Jenny’s ice cream in Columbus uses their style of Ice cream and gets about 4 times the $. Greaters is mighty fine too. I like the store on the North side of Columbus. I don’t hand out ice cream awards very freely and have been known to drive considerable miles for ice cream, pie, chicken and bar b que. Pancake mix and fresh muffins, Wheat Montana at Three Forks, 1300 miles from home, and I stopped there four times in one summer.

Dave,
That is more than 10,000 miles total to take care of a hankering....must be really good!
Looked at the menu here https://www.wheatmontanakalispell.com

[cpaharley2008]

Speaking of hankering, we plan on going to LeRoy, NY for Thanksgiving dinner at D&R Depot, a restaurant in a converted railroad station https://www.dandrdepot.com/our-menu
oh, LeRoy is also the home of Jello and there is a Jello museum Home

Hi Jim
In 2017 we went to the Rally in Osoyoos. Had the 19. Stopped on the way out and on the way back. Then bought the 21 in Tucson in July, drove down and got it and brought it home. Sold the 19 and headed for Chilliwack to have solar installed and take
a little west coast vacation. Stopped again on the way out and the way back. Last spring to Osoyoos stopped both ways again. We have a deli sandwich outside for
lunch there. Jake is with us and the lady who brings the sandwich out to the table brings some water for the dog too. Last week my wife and daughter were near Colo Iowa in a little restaurant. Fresh pie on Wednesdays and Fridays. Two slices of
Pie one with ice cream (peach) and the other coconut cream and one coffee, $3.50.
Oh yeah, I got my stops all right and one of
them is coming right up. Betty’s Sunday brunch. Oh Canada.

Ohio State parks are great!!! Popular, so you have to plan ahead.
