Kirk W Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just a couple of notes to help you as you come to Boot Camp and to Escapade.......... There is a Duncan Donuts shop & sign directly across the street from the fair grounds. You will be turning to the north when entering the park. The next picture shows a map of the streets to the park. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

nana25k Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Kirk I personally expect you to be standing in the street holding up my welcome sign at 8am Thursday morning Ron & LindaClass of 20072000 Monaco Diplomat 2005 Honda Element"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" Theodore Roosevelt"We can't control the wind, but we can adjust our sail""When man gave up his freedom to roam the earth, he gave up his soul for a conditioned ego that is bound by time and the fear of losing its attachments."

Kirk W Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I really wanted to do that too! Problem is that the city of Essex Junction has laws that say we can't put temporary signs out and very tough restrictions on what can be put up! Broke my heart that they won't let me stand out on the street like one of those dancing sign carriers! Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

bobsallyh Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hey Kirk, that is Dunkin Donuts or depending on age could be Drunkin Donuts. I'll have a dozen Toasted Coconuts please! Have a good time Pm and Kirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 We're arriving on Saturday, probably between 12 and 1. Is there any value to planning an approach so that we're making a right turn into the facility vs a left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Schneider Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 How about parking Big Red near the entrance gate for the day? Maybe with a big arrow on the side pointing the way in? <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is there a place to pull off and unhitch our toad? We won't be able to do this until we get to the Escapade. We re coming in on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 We're arriving on Saturday, probably between 12 and 1. Is there any value to planning an approach so that we're making a right turn into the facility vs a left? That would make it somewhat easier, but I don't think that it will be a major issue. We start parking today with incoming staff so I'll try and get back to you this afternoon once we have tested with more than on RV arriving at once. The street you approach on is somewhat busy but when we arrived we did a left turn into the fairground and it was not a significant problem. Is there a place to pull off and unhitch our toad? We won't be able to do this until we get to the Escapade. We re coming in on Friday. Yes. We do have a designated lane for arrivals to stop and unhook after you turn into the grounds. While it may be helpful to you if you unhook prior to arrival, for some it may be necessary and so we do plan for that. Also, singles who tow a car don't have much choice so we also have an area to leave the towed, and customer service can provide a ride back to get the car after the RV has been parked. Just FYI, when I woke up at 6 am today the temperature outside was 50°! Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

SWharton Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 This is good to know. DH is having some medical issues(nothing serious) and some days I am the only driver. We never know until the morning. He has been OK for the last few days so maybe it has passed. Just ne3d to cover the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Kirk, maybe you could go fly a kite? This one served us well in Q one winter. The SKP windsock made a great tail!

SWharton Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 In the last few days I think Kirk wrote a thread as to where a laundromat was, Walmart, etc. I didn't have a printer at the time and thought I kept is someplace, problem is I can't find someplace. If anyone hs a copy of it please give me the link. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 To my knowledge there is no mobile wash service here, not do they plan to be. I did however, see a fellow just a few spots down from me washing his own RV. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
