Re: Escape Rally in Merritt, BC

I had a thought this morning ( I rarely think in early hours, my brain kicks in around 1 pm & stalls around 1:15..)

Anyway, I forgot about my passport for heading up to Canada.. Good thing I checked, my passport expires April 27 & Liana already expired (I wouldn't leave her at the border.. maybe Seattle.. )..

So those of you in the US, you might want to check your doc's..

Good thing you checked, Jeff. I sure would miss meeting Liana.

Dog food can't cross either (at least going south). You'll also want all your "dogumentation" if you're bringing fluffy across.

Must be the new math you youngsters use. I will be there in 44 days, maybe even on Thursday 43 days from today.

Wow, only 44-ish days! I'll have to tell my husband to get busy ~ he's only tied about 886 flies so far...

Using old school math, that means one more beer for me.

Re: Escape Rally in Merritt, BC

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are fully booked for the Escape Rally in Merritt. Thank you to everyone who has called this past week or so wanting to join in the festivities. Next year we will plan on a larger campground.

I will be sending out an email this weekend to all attendees as an FYI. I will post the same email here just in case you do not receive it. Almost all sites have been paid for - THANK YOU!

I hope everyone is getting excited.

Tammy

Re: Escape Rally in Merritt, BC

Oh how we wish we could join you! We just returned from a 6 week camping trip in the south east, which was truly wonderful - a highlight being meeting up with Al and Maryann - Escape Artist - and Dan and Jan - Hokie Escape, in Virginia on our way home. It is so rare to see any Escapes in the east - so far - but we are doing our best to encourage more folks to make this side of the continent their home. We are sure all of you will have a wonderful time, and Ian and I wish you all the best, and will be thinking of you in Merritt.
Jim, make sure your wardrobe is well up to snuff - tell Lisa to be sure to leave you enough room in the wardrobe so there will be no creases in that dress...
Have fun!
Jenny

Re: Escape Rally in Merritt, BC

: Oh and I wish I could join the Rally! Should be fun having such a large crowd of Escapees in one spot! One Escape is already a lot here in the Midwest... Have I mentioned that I have never ever seen a fiberglass trailer before in action at a camp ground?

Hello Everyone,

Please find attached a list of the attendees, general FYIs, directions to the campground and a copy of the campground rules.

Now I know ... well hope ... everyone will be able to get this. See Attachment

Re: Escape Rally in Merritt, BC

I think a whole lotta fun is going to be had.
We are very much looking forward to seeing once again those we have met, and all those who we have not had the pleasure yet to meet.
