North To Alaska...

Before we start North, let me take you back a couple of weeks when

RVillage is at the 54th Escapade in Goshen, IN!  We're hosting a social meet-n-greet on Thursday at 4:30!  Stop on by!

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!

  2. We'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.
