noticed that and then went online to see what that place was!

also noticed in pic #3 to the right side what looked like an Escape 19 without the rock shield on the front window..since the storage box and propane is on the front assumed it was a 19 and had the front window installed..if not installed its going to be full of snow!

I noticed that too when looking for our 19. There are no windows yet, still early construction. We thought at first it might be ours since we got early production pictures last week, but they seem to have dark graphics, ours are red. Wonder how they get the plywood dried out....

#4 but I think we are inside or under that tent thing.

Heh! I resemble that remark.

Wow now thats a snow storm!We picked up our beautiful 21 on the 31st and it was cold but sunny.Feel very fortunate that we hit the perfect time to bring our beauty home.Safe travels to all the Escapees that are in route to pick up their trailers.

Just saw this on CBC regarding the 'storm to remember' in Chilliwack.

I just got this email reply to a question about our build sheet - due next week. I'm glad to see Reace and Tammy's first concern is to keep their employees safe!

Thank you for contacting Escape Trailer Industries.

Please note Escape Trailer Industries is CLOSED today due to an Extreme Winter Weather System.

ALL Staff have been asked to remain at home due to unsafe road conditions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Temps look like there are going to warm into the 40's today so hopefully things will get better soon.

Up in the 50's here 3 hours south. Lots of rain. Flooding could be an issue with the rain combined with melting snow.

All the snow melted off my camper overnight. So now I can pull the CalMark cover off and go camping this weekend!

Good idea, I braved the roads this morning to take my wife to work at 7 am only for them to loose power and all be sent home. We've had 12 hours of freezing rain where I am in the valley and it has just transitioned to rain in the last hour. Chilliwack is forecast to have another another 3 hours of it until it also changes to rain. The roads were brutal with the exception of the provincial highways.

The Coq is closed, avalanche hazard on Highway 3, and the TransCanada is a bit of a mess.

So, my Feb 21st trip could be a lot of fun!

[gbaglo]

All three are currently closed. Update at 5pm says Highways.

I got stranded on the Amtrak Empire Builder on Saturday night going back from Seattle to Minneapolis because of an avalanche across Marias pass. A BNSF diesel pulled us back to Whitefish and then to Spokane. Hwy 2 was also closed because of an avalanche. Got to see MT in the winter by bus from Spokane to Shelby, WY courtesy of Amtrak!

Wow, shades of the Truckee train disaster in the 1950's

Or the snowdrifts that brought the Orient Express to a halt in 1934 with Hercules Poirot aboard...

You could be OK, if trend holds.

There's a bucket list item I could see in more stable times. I've been through that Montana country shown on several occasions. I'd like to see it in winter sometime.

For sure, a week makes a huge difference.

[Mucram]

Am hoping the weather improves for a 2/28/17 orientation & p/u! Also hope they are clearing those new trailer roofs.

Hmm, I have a customer supposed to pick up a new 21 on Friday and stop in Portland, OR for the weekend............might not make it here for their installations on Monday!
