What a week of learning and fun. This was our first Escapade, but will not be our last. We attended many classes - sometimes together and sometimes choosing different ones. I've learned a lot about basic RV systems and maintenance. Now I'll organize the information into my RV notebook and make my list of things that need to be checked and fixed if necessary.
The Elkhart 4-H Fairgrounds was filled with 796 RV's of various sizes. We counted about 7 or 8 Roadtreks scattered throughout the fairgrounds, but only met the owner of one. As we pulled into our parking spot by the grandstand, we were delighted to see John & Ellie parked beside us. They had been parked behind us at the Gypsy Journal Rally week before last. We saw several other folks that had been at the Gypsy Rally. It's always great to see familiar faces
We met many wonderful people including John & Vera who are members of Christian Fellowship BOF (Birds of a Feather group). We joined them and about 2 dozen others for a special time of worship and sharing each morning at 7:00am. It was a blessed way to start the day.
We officially joined that group and the Florida Gateway Chapter 27. We will now be able to meet together with Escapees in our area. We have already signed up to go to the rally in early November.
Today we left Goshen and Elkhart Fairgounds and have traveled down to Wilmington Thousand Trails (which is actually closer to Lebanon, OH). We'll rest tomorrow after a very busy week.
Next post will have a very special to me picture of Joe & Kay Peterson - founders of Escapees - and me.
Until next time,
God's blessings and our prayers are with you

Sounds like you have had a great time at the rallies. Sure wish we hadn't missed them. Maybe next year. RV'ers are such a great group of people - lots of fun and good food.
