Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

As a newbie, who lives in ZComox on Vancouver Island I am curious to know how many escapees there are on VI? Are we talking 3 or 43? Would be fun to meet up next summer somewhere if there is interest. Alder Bay near Port Mc Neil is very nice,,,whale watching, fishing, and golf
All the best

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

Hi there! We live in Parksville, just down the road from you. Sounds like a plan to get together sometime this year on the island, just have to work out schedules. We were going to explore the north island this summer, so Port McNiel sounds good. We stayed, a couple of years ago, at the municipal campground there & it was ok. Gary

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

Yep! Kitty Coleman is on our list of places! Beautiful spot. Also Schowen Lake. But for an Escape get-together should probably have hookups?

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

We are not on Vancouver Island. In fact, we are not in Canada, and can't even spell "eh", but we are owners of a 17B and plan to visit VI this summer. We would very much like to meet other Escapees when we visit there.

We are located on south Whidbey Island aboot 30 miles from Deception Pass State Park. So, if any of you would like to visit the US, we would be glad to host a get-together here.

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

This sounds do-able! We should have a meet this summer. When are you coming onto the island? There are a lot of nice Provincial Parks over here, no hookups though.

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

We're also on the island, Ladysmith, and as of November, sold the truck camper and became owners of a new Escape 17B. Never camped at Alder Bay so that sounds interesting.

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

We don't live on the Island but are considering a trip this summer (likely August). We hope our itinerary includes Toquart Bay, Long Beach then we'd work our way north to Port Hardy / Port McNeill area. The return trip to the Mainland would be via Powell River. If there is a chance for a get together along the way we certainly would be interested.

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

We're a 17A wtih accessibility modifications, in Victoria (though the trailer lives at White Rock on the mainland). We've been considering bringing it "over from Canada" next year; a get-together might be a good excuse.
