Just returned home from 3k miles between the Olympic Peninsula and Yellowstone without a hint of another Escape. Today as we were 10 miles from home we spotted a 21 near Sequim with light blue graphics being pulled by a gold Jeep Grand Cherokee. Much waving and smiles ensued as we passed in front of them at a light.

We pulled into the North Rim Campground about the same time. Overall, there were five of us Escape owners there over the six nights we spent there. Unfortunately, we only got to meet the folks with the brand new 5.0TA. I would have liked to have met the others but didn't see them around and I don't like to knock on doors. Hope your stay was a nice as ours.

Alberta Escape 21 on Highway 10 in Surrey

I just saw a couple in a dark grey Jeep Grand Cherokee bearing Alberta plates towing an Escape 21 here in Surrey, B.C. They were headed East on highway #10 in the direction of Langley. Twice I was beside them at lights and I couldn't help rolling down my window (toot, toot) to tell them we also have an Escape 21. The thing is, the weather is WICKED right now, with torrential rain and wind whipping the trees around. Some roads are just about flooding and power lines are down from tree branches here and there, one incident causing me to detour on the way home. The Alberta Escape going down the highway in that weather looked like a real adventure. I'm glad our Escape is safely tucked away under a trailer cover beside the house, ready for next year's adventures. We would be traveling to warmer climates right now if it weren't for family responsibilities (elderly mother with constant health crisis).

We saw an Escape 21 coming along the Grand Canyon Highway from Desert View last Wednesday---I waved like crazy but we were in a little rental Corolla...

Also met a couple with a 19 in parking lot in Flagstaff...

We just returned from a week of camping at Old Man's Cave in southern Ohio. Upon pulling in with our 19 we were surprised to see another Escape 19 in the campground. Turned out it was another 19 owner couple from the Cincinnati area with their 2017. Had a great time discussing how happy we were with our purchases and exchanged ideas and future tips for our campers. Not 100% sure but we now think we have met all the 19 owners in the state of Ohio.

We saw an Escape first gen 19 that was being pulled south on I35 through Austin today about 2:20pm. It had Arkansas plates and was being pulled by a brownish colored Ford truck.

After a quick detour to NJ for Christmas, we are heading West for most of the winter to ski in the Tetons (Teton Pass mostly). Wave to us along the way! And for any back country skiers in the group, come visit us in Tetonia and we'll give you a tour of the pass.

Officially jealous! Just watched some videos and backcountry skiing in the Tetons looks like a blast. Since you are from VT have you found any ski areas in the northeast that are RV friendly and let you park overnight? I’ve heard there may be a few in NH.

Hoping to make it up in your neck of the woods this winter...maybe Okemo or Sugarbush.

Saw a 19 N/B on I-5 near Cottage Grove OR on Friday, 29 Dec around 1330. Light blue or turquoise graphics, bikes on the rear and a white TV.
Had a quick glimpse over my shoulder of a 5.0 S/B on Oracle Road in Tucson today. Red graphics and TV I believe.

We are on our way from Southern Calif to pick up our new 19 and we saw our first Escape ever on the road, how exciting. It was a lime green 17 (I think) heading south on I5 just north of Weed CA on I5, 1/8

Nobody home, but there is an Escape 21 in the Brevard County (FL) Long Point Campground.

Here is a virtual sighting. I follow Kevin and Ruth’s blog. They are leading a caravan through Mexico for the next three months. There is a new Escape 21 in their group. See the link.

Met Another Escape 21

I haven't had a chance to post since I picked up my new Escape 21 October 27 2017. Slowly making my way towards Pahrump NV to establish residency towards a goal of living a nomad life for at least 5 years.

I had been attending the RTR east of Quartzite and was leaving to head back to Yuma when I encountered another (older) Escape 21. I "broke wind" on 95 all the way to Yuma where we had a very brief moment to exchange information. I think they were from Canada? I would like know about them.

I apologize for not posting some images, which I will do .. but meanwhile here is a Youtube I posted of the trailer in the Anzo-Borrego desert east of of San Diego:

Thank you Martin for sharing that video. If you like the Anza Borrego desert, might I suggest the dispersed camping areas in Big Bend. Wonderful isolation.

Thanks for the suggestion. If you are talking about Big Bend in Texas will be passing through that next Dec/Jan on my way to Cortez FL so I will check for either Boondocking and/or state parks.

Yes, Big Bend NP. There are numerous dispersed camping sites there. There are developed campsites at Cottonwood, Rio Grande Village and Chisos Basin, but the dispersed sites are all over the park.
