Yes, if the reservation is for the C-loop sites (which is likely), that's the entire original upper loop (C-1 through C-76) plus the newer loop (C-77 through C-151)... plus a few more (hopefully the adjacent sites in the 60's).

Ironically, that's all of Nk'Mip's 50-amp sites and all of the big pull-throughs... for a group that has no 50-amp RVs and no large rigs. I wonder if there will be few big rigs in middle of the Escapes?

There are normally several big rigs dispersed throughout that section, not sure if they will be there again.

Many of these are permanent trailers, as well as others who reserved well in advance, and they won't move them. I would bet that there are some there again they have been every year so far.

They do a fairly good job at Nk'Mip accommodating us. There have been a few glitches, but mostly they like our business.

Yay! C8. Don't know if that's good or bad, but Yay anyway.

You chose well. But, in past years they have not assigned specific sites. Has that changed?

I reserved my site right off the bat the last couple years.

Maybe there should be sections, like all 19' in one, 17' in another, and so on. It would be neat to see each model with others of the same.

Pretty sure you could be jailed for making such suggestions of segregation.

We are still looking for a name for our 21. I wanted "Otis Club Members Only" from Mayberry RFD. Wife overrode that one.

Whatever you do, don't copy us and call it "The Trailer". That one has be plagiarized to death.

Made our reservation, requesting a specific site, and was told there was no guarantee.

I've about decided to name mine "The Casita." Old habits die hard.

Don't think we can make it to Osoyoos next spring...

Or... sorted chronologically by manufacture date (or serial number), to show the evolution

Don't laugh, Brian.
I think that's a more excellent idea than segregation by size.
And perhaps get a 1970 Boler to anchor the head of the line,
and indicate ancestry.

It would certainly be an interesting stroll up memory lane.

The anchor should really should be a Trillium 4500 or Surfside TM-14, the true ancestor of all Escapes.
There's an idea: Jim Bennett has multiple tow vehicles... Jim, bring out your kid's Trillium!

Pilot I sold the Pilot yesterday, so only have 2 vehicles left that can tow.

And if by chance my 5.0TA is not ready, I just might bring the Trillium.

.......You probably wouldn't even have to tow the Trillium...just stick it on the back of that big truck !
