Escape rally 2025

[Jim Bennett]

We're in the Idaho Falls area. See you all there!

I love to stop for a night just south of you for a soak in Lava Hot Springs. By far my favourite hot spring. Their hot pool is very hot, nice! A nice KOA campground there too.

I think that it's going to be a rally with a little extra buzz given that a lot of attendees may be first timers hooking up with the Alaska 2025 folks.

I was chatting with Samuel today and was surprised to hear that the rally is fully booked. I've booked spots much later than this, sometimes only a month or so out.

Sorry that I can't make it next year but I've never learned how to be in two places at once.

I only booked a site a couple weeks ago and there were more left. I guess it went fast after that.

Dang.

Hi Mike, I believe the "fully booked" means the number of sites that ETI has reserved for the rally. ETI does have quite a bit of experience putting on the rally and I think that the number of folks is limited by their desire to provide a great time for everyone and knowing that there is a finite capacity to how many people that can be accommodated at the meals and events.

There may well be some space at the campground, or some open up but they may not be included in the ETI dinners etc. There's nothing to stop others from camping elsewhere and making the rounds seeing various folks and events.

Yeah I was told it's too early to see anything from Escape trailers about to get together.

There's two aspects to that. The first is when the Rally dates are announced which was quite awhile ago. That's when people should get a reservation.

The second is ETI reminding folks that have reserved a site and will be attending the Rally to let them know the campsite # and names of attendees so that they can have name tags and packages ready upon arrival. There's no need for them to be doing that a long way in advance of the Rally.

FWIW, I got an email a couple of days ago asking me to confirm my confirmation number otherwise I would lose my spot. Okay... so I confirmed my confirmation number but never got a confirmation that my confirmation was confirmed.

 

[Ron in BC]

So after you confirmed your confirmation number if they'd sent you a confirmation that your confirmation had been received would you send them a confirmation that your confirmation to their request for confirmation had been received?

I'm thinking that you're good to go.

Let me confirm that with Linda and I’ll get back to you. . I figured we were good to go. It was that statement “you will lose your spot” that got my attention.
