Before we start North, let me take you back a couple of weeks when
the 54th Escapde was under way, and we were living life in the fast lane...
Our office
was set up. Wallace
was checking out all the radios while
Wanda was making a plan for how to direct everyone to the Rise n' Rolls Donuts. Good job Wan! According to my scales, I think we found them!
With the help of Greg and his fancy fork lift, Bob and Mark
hung all the sponsor signs...looking good guys!
And, before we knew it, things were in full swing. There was
registration,
meetings, and
seminars.
Thanks Sharon and Don for recruiting 250 to 300
wonderful volunteers that
helped throughout the week.
And, wow....
look at all these first timers. They were anxious to hear what
Molly, Wanda, and Susie had to say!
Of course, we don't want to forget the
socials, happy hours, and
absolute craziness that goes on!
But, like every other Escapade, the week was soon over,
Big Red was packed and on the way back to Texas. We hope you are making your plans to join us in 2015 in Tucson! We look forward to seeing you there.
But...in the meantime, we are packed up and headed
North To Alaska!
We left Goshen this past Sunday, danced around Chicago and landed at
Camp Wal-Mart in Iowa City for the night.
Monday, we traveled the
scenic route through Iowa to Austin, Minnesota.
This stop
was a must!
Tuesday, we traveled on to Mitchell, SD, home of the
Corn Palace. The outside of the building is decorated with 12 kinds of corn!
This morning, we were up with
sun, and after a fuel stop, the gang was
on the move. Next stop...Rapid City, SD for our next adventure!
Life is Good!

ReplyDeleteWe'll be watching for you as you cruise by Dogpound North. If you are stopping somewhere close by for the night let us know. If we can't entice you to come here we might stop by. Oh for the record close in Canada is anywhere in Southern Alberta.
ReplyDeleteWe just made it home after a long 8400 mile trip ... Including all the fun at Escapade. Thanks for all the work you and Mark put in. Looking forward to following along on your Alaskan Adventure.
ReplyDeleteWonderful recap Dortha and thanks so very much for a terrific job at Escapade hosting happy hours and dinners and keeping the "snack mobile" up and running! Looking forward to Alaska with y'all!
ReplyDeleteOh, but you left out all those wonderful haircuts! ;)
