Escape sighting?

5.0 @ Lake Louise CG, Banff NP

Hello to the campers in the 5.0 & red F-150 with California plates in site 157. We were 3 sites down in our 5.0. I wanted to stop by & say “hi” but didn’t see anyone @ your site each time I passed by.

5.0 at Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival (Tunbridge, VT)

Arriving Friday at the Fairgrounds in Tunbridge, Vermont, for the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival, we spotted an Escape 5.0 TA in the field for boondock camping, and as we got a friendly greeting from owners Doug and Jo (from New Market, NH), we parked next door, making a little Escape encampment.

Didn't see any other Escapes among the crowd of RVs at the Festival, though there were a at least a couple of Casitas and a couple of Scamps. Next to Doug and Jo was an interesting 1965 Trailblazer (?), and owner Bob.

Here's their 5.0—with their handsome red Ford; sorry about including the towel, but it rained all day Saturday, and we were all hanging stuff out to dry.

On my way home to Carson City from Reno/Sparks I passed a 17B with AZ plates today. Always fun to see Escapes in my 'neck o the woods'; er sage LOL.
 
I saw at least 3 (possibly 4) Escapes in a 3 hour period on Sunday 7/14 northbound on Minnesota Hwy 61 along the "North Shore." Was there a rally up that way or what? Never before saw so many in so short a distance. Seems like they mostly were 17s with blue or maybe green graphics.
 
Terra Nova National Park

Passed a 5.0 heading westbound on the Trans-Canada Hwy in Terra Nova National Park today about 2:15. Been in NL since June 3, & this is the only Escape I've noticed. Happy trails to you!
 
Terra Nova NP, again

A 17 was west-bound on the TCH about 4:15 this afternoon in Terra Nova NP. Didn't see any Escapes in my first 7 weeks here, & now saw 2 in 2 days. Hope y'all are enjoying NL as much as I am!
 
Oasis SP NM

Escape 21 spotted in Oasis State Park, NM. I camp here quit a bit, this is the first time seeing a fellow Escape.

Port Rexton, NL

Saw a naked 5.0 parked at the convenience store in Port Rexton. Tow vehicle was a gray Ram 2500 with FL plates. While waiting to pay for my gas, the guy ahead of me bought one item, then picked up another one at the counter & paid for that one; after the cashier changed the register tape, the guy picked up & paid for 2 more items one at a time without ever leaving the counter. Slowest. Checkout. Ever. By the time I paid for my gas & got back outside, the 5.0 was gone. Hope that you're enjoying NL as much as I am!
 
Big Portage Lake

I think it’s an Escape. I saw it from the water on the West side of the lake, near Land ‘O Lakes, Wisconsin.
The passenger window layout appeared to be an Escape.

For only the second time since getting our trailer in 2021 did we see another Escape. This time, three sites down from us at Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware. Linda and Chris in their 19. They like their trailer as much as we like ours. 🙂
 
Saw a 21 or 23 heading north on highway 20 right at Harriman Sate Park, Idaho at about 10:30 this morning. We were the 5.0 heading south. Hope you have safe travels.
 
I was stuck behind a F150 Tremor, with kayaks mounted above the bed, pulling a 21C while crawling through rush hour traffic on Deerfoot Trail in south Calgary yesterday afternoon. It looked like quite the adventure rig!
 
Living in Connecticut and having never seen an Escape in CT (except our own), we saw 2 within about 10 minutes of each other today on I-84 west bound near Danbury! The first an E21 was in Danbury proper at about 10:15 AM and the second an E19 in Newtown at 10:25 AM! Nice to see fellow Escapers in our neighborhood.
