The Great Escape

The Mad Dash Great Escape!!

You'll probably think we've gone mad
but we drove all the way to Winnipeg
last week and picked up our little "new to us" RV trailer.



The planning and scheming has begun
for trips and travels.

Along the way I snapped some pictures,
mostly while in transit,
as we dashed Escaped through
4 states, 2 provinces,
and along the beautiful shores of
Lake Michigan and Superior,
and then back again.


Our faithful GPS "Gertie" took us
through sleet and snow and rain
Stopping only to gas up, eat a little,
sleep and washroom breaks - Whew!




We travelled over amazing bridges and saw
beautiful fall colours, and thankfully not too many deer
(live ones - that is)! Couldn't believe the carnage
we saw along the interstate highways - so sad.




We could see that hunting
season is in full swing - they sold "bait"
along side the fuel - who knew that hunting
was such a big deal - eek!


As you can imagine,
we were so glad to arrive home again,
safe and sound and The Farmer
was elated to see that the soy bean crop
had been harvested and not lost as was feared.
It's all good.....
It was worth the drive to Winnipeg!!!





Till next time ...... dreaming of future travels and vacations.  Let the fun begin.....

  8. Yeah! So excited for you guys. When I met you in Chilliwack you were on your way to look at the Escape factory. Now the plans are a dream come true and you can escape....just as we've done. How fun it would be for our paths to cross and we 'camp' a little together. You're going to love your home on wheels....along with the meals on wheels that are just so much fun.
