Escape sighting?

[Bobbie54]

I forgot to mention one Escape "sighting." My friends were walking in another part of the park and came back and said, "There's an Escape over in that circle." So I of course went to look. And what a disappointment to find out it was only a Casita!

Hey, nothing wrong with that! On my recent trip, I saw (that I recognized) a Bigfoot, a few Scamps and more than a few Casitas. Plus a few that I didn't know what they were. Oh, and an Oliver I toured while in Tulsa. I was thrilled to see any and all fiberglass trailers. I tried to roll down my window and wave at all of them as we passed on the roads. Did park next to a few at rest stops in various states. Including a very small Casita with some musicians in it (had a band name on the side and back) - I felt huge parking next to them!

A 19? Pulling south on Hwy 97 through Kelowna yesterday about dinner time by a white Ridgeline.

Disappointing when you've expected an Escape. I saw a few other fiberglass, too, though not very many this year. But last year had an Escape near me at the campground.

Well, to see FOUR Escapes in the same place, one need only go to Haines Junction, Yukon, during the Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival, as we did in early June, just before leaving on our trip south to pick up our own 21!

I have a 19 on order, due for pickup in August. We bought it without ever having seen an Escape. That is, until today!! I passed a 19 traveling from Kamiah, ID towards Grangeville, light blue graphics, and nearly ran off the road rubber-necking. If this was you and you're camping somewhere nearby, please let me know!! At least I can finally say I've actually seen one! And I managed to stay on the road at the same time

We've seen a few Escapes in the YK territory in the last two weeks. A couple of 17s, a couple of 19s and a 21. Could've been a 17 leaving the Conrad campground on June 28th as we were pulling in.

Also saw a 15 the same as ours parked at a house down the street from the Robert Service cabin in Dawson City last week.

I talked to one local Yukonner who thinks there's at least 12 owned in the territory.

Nice to see all that glass and resin out in the wild.

Very true. Lightning is low on my list of worries. That said, I was huddled in a tent as a kid in a major storm with lightning strikes around us and it was quite scary. We were in a remote area with no vehicles or buildings to retreat to.

That might be us in our 21, we are in Whitehorse for a few days. There was a 19 in the same campground as us (High Country RV Park)

Sorry...somehow this landed in the wrong thread.

[Redferns]

We probably saw you then. We had not seen any other Escapes in the wild until we went up to YK!

Sounds like your buddy, Ross!

[Rossue]

Dont think so...he has lime green graphics.

5.0 TA spotted on the north loop at Yellowstone 7/2. Alas, we are without our 5.0 TA this trip. Hope they see their picture. Looking good!

Met Bill and Nancy and their one-month old 17' when they parked across from us at Bear Lake State Park, St. Charles, Idaho.

We saw a 19 parked in #55 at Englishman River Provincial Park this weekend. TV was a grey Dodge Ram P/U. We were there in #88 with our 2005 17B on it's maiden (for us) camping weekend.

Met a south bound 5.0 TA on US 54 near Liberal, KS yesterday morning. Red graphics and pulled by a red truck with New Mexico plates.

Escape 15 in Victoria BC on Mackenzie . We were the weirdos pointing and screaming going in the opposite direction.
