The RV Rally is Over. . .and we made it out. . .

stuck in the muddy mess inside the horse track
without getting stuck. . .this is how the field looked by the middle of the week. . .
lots and lots of rain. . .
Escapade Muddy Mess Elkhart Fairgrounds - Goshen IN
this was the first casualty on Wednesday. . .
through no fault of his own, but because another RV’er
pulled out in front of him in their car, he had to stop. . .
and you know what happens to one of these things once you stop. . .
no chance of getting it rolling again. . .
Escapees Escapade
after they were towed out. . .the fairgrounds. . .thankfully,
had about six loads of gravel delivered. . .
we are in Amish Country - they are shopping at Aldi's
I tried my dead level best to avoid leaving the fairgrounds,
and going to the store. . .but finally, we were out of everything. . .
bread, milk, cheese (very important for nachos,) veggies. . .
I was forced to make an Aldi run. . .
guess who else shops at Aldi? 
The Entertainment - Johnny Counterfeit Band - Singing Impersonator from Nashville
then back to the rally for entertainment, and classes,
and chili cookoffs. . .and visiting. . .the visiting was the most fun!


We think we might have liked it all better if the weather had been better. ..
as it was, once things were over for the day,
we just kinda hibernated in the rig til the next activity,
which makes it very difficult to meet others. . .
but. . .oh well. . .
now we can say we did an Escapee’s Escapade. . .

When we got ready to leave this morning. . .
Dave made a run for it, and didn’t stop til he reached the road. . .yaaa Dave!
Michigan State House - State Capitol - Lansing MI
our next stop. . .Cottonwood Campground – Lansing Michigan – State Capitol*

See you there,
Janice and Dave

Escapees Escapade–Goshen Indiana–so this is an RV Rally. . .

We arrived at the fairgrounds on Saturday morning. . .
these guys have full hook ups and 50 amp
and were directed to our parking space INSIDE the arena. . .
we are parked inside the track
the horse racing arena. . .where horses always have the right of way. . .
and you must watch for them as you come and go.
practicing for the harness races. . .
These guys are practicing for harness races. . .
which evidently is a big deal in these parts. . .

What are we going to do all week?
We have no idea really. . .we’ve done lots of visiting with other RV’ers so far. . .
and there will be seminars, and talks, and entertainment, and socials. . .
so. . .if you don’t hear from me. . .it’s because,
I’m very, very busy. . .LOL!

‘til next time,
Janice and Dave
