Nancy and I went to our first Escapee Rally, the Escapade in Sedalia MO, September 16th to 20th. We are new members, courtesy of Travelin' Fran, our new bud from the Fantasy Tour! Thank you, Fran! Had a great experience. Escapees differ from FMCA members in a couple of ways...
- Escapees can be towables as well as motorhomes.
- Escapees are more geared toward full-timers.
- Escapees have a major emphasis on education.
- Escapee events start on time. On the dot!
- Escapee entertainment, in my opinion, was tops.
The 3rd item was the highlight for us, with excellent seminars on volunteering, work-camping, and ways to improve the full-timing experience. There were around 560 rigs participating, so it was roughly equivalent to the 6-state FMCA area rally. EntertainmLent featured Yakov Smirnoff, of Branson fame, who had a funny and inspiring act.
We also bumped into four couples from our Maritimes tour, who were also attending. How fun is that!
