Atlantic Canada Rally Someday?

Wishful thinking perhaps! If I add up all of the known Escape owners in my area it would total 2 (and that's if we get ours as planned in the next few months!).
Perhaps we may be able to coax some Escape owners from Central Canada and Northeast US to come along!

There is a fiberglass rally that includes many Escapes in Niagara Falls, Ontario in September - The Niagara Wine Escape Rally.

If you plan it they will come...

We've been planning an east coast trip for some time, was supposed to happen in 2020, but then you wouldn't allow other Canadians in, something about some strange disease. This year we're doing the Escape rally but next year could go down east. Plan a date and we'd be there.

Sounds like I might have talked myself into a job!

We stayed here in New Brunswick, accessible by ferry only https://campgrounds.rvlife.com/regio...ampground-8897
very nice campground as well as ferry ride with the Escape attached....

That campground is just outside Saint John (Canada's oldest incorporated city) and about an hour from our home.
St. Martins is an area not too far from Hardings Point that would also be an excellent choice for a rally. A small Village but has 2 ocean front campgrounds and very close to Fundy National Park and the Fundy Trail.
Hope you enjoyed your visit!

We loved our NB Canadian visit, very fond memories.....hope to return one day! You plan/organize it and we will make it, just be careful with other rally dates.

Hi: Fender... There is Vintage Fiberglass rally in eastern Canada. It rotates between the three maritime provinces each year. In 2019 we attended while in Nova Scotia before our trip to "The Rock".
While there we found our former '77 Boler.

At one time there were only 3 Escapes on this side of the Mississippi, Alf's, Jon's and mine.....

My, how we have grown.....

Not quite Jim, there's Eric and Mary in Galesville WI just east of the river. Eric joined the forum in 2009 before you and their first trailer was a 2010 17 - "Blue." There could be others.

I am hoping we can get back to NS, Cape Breton, PEI and more of NB next year! Last time we did it in 5 VW buses! We have never been treated so well in our life. Next time we will also go over the Newfoundland because the people are just so interesting!

Hi: emers382... In 2008 we owned the 1st. Escape 5th. wh. east of the Rockies. You might remember that trailer Eh? Back then there was already a 17'er in our town.

Hi: Fender... If my memory serves me well there's a 19'er in Moncton. They bought it as a souvenir of their trip to BC!!!

You're right! A friend of mine goes to this with his Boler.

That trailer does look vaguely familiar. I believe it still resides now in Quebec although we haven't heard anything lately from the newest owner.
