Escapade 58, Sedalia MO Kirk, That appears to be a private group for attendees of Escapade.

mptjelgin Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 The more general "Escapees RV Club" Facebook page has had posts regarding Escapade and some of the entertainment there. Not my cup of tea, but it looks like the attendees are having a good time.

2gypsies Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Kirk, that's not going to help. It says you need to Login or Join. Sometimes it's assumed that everyone uses Facebook and that's not the case.

I'm not sure who assumes that but it is very true that this forum and most others like it are losing popularity while the so-called social media keeps growing. I reluctantly began visiting facebook to keep in touch with our kids and grandkids. I am still not a big fan of it but the younger generation seems to be so I just deal with it. I posted the link for those who choose to visit. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

MidMOTraveler Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I would like to just thank everyone we met at Escapade. We were only able to attend on the free day Wednesday as we are only an hour away. In the short time we were there we felt like we were meeting old friends,sharing and learning about the lifestyle. We are looking forward to starting our full time travels later this month and meeting and attending future Escapees rally’s. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Larry Burkett Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I feel that if the people in my family or friends I associate with want me to know or see something they will share it with me. No Facebook for me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnEM38 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I visited on the free day as well. I find it hard to find any information about what was going on day to day. I do not Facebook either so it hard to see any information.

Did you check in with the hospitality desk? I think that they were giving out programs to the visitors, but since my job is security, I'm not sure about that.

I was speaking about the social media posts to see what was happening each day. There were very few posts about the Escapade that I could find. Maybe I just didn’t know where to look.

I always felt that real time communication was a weak link at Escapade. Unless we made a trip over to hospitality each morning we had no way to find out what changes had been made to that day's schedule. And since we didn't find the transportation system to be reliable we couldn't always get where we wanted to go in a timely manner either. But the things we did get to were wonderful!

SWharton Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I really liked the app. Kept me more or less up to date and I didn't need to carry the paper schedule with me. My only info complaint is the color of the day. Should be highlighted each day as part of the days schedule....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RV Hooligans Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I've not been able to find info on where/when the 59th Escapade will be held....??? Isn't it usually announced before or at the closing ceremonies? Linda, Larry, & the Hooligan Shelties Hope to be FT in 2012 in 5th Wheel LOL...We sure took the slow track! Been enjoying retirement as volunteers with Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park & Kline Creek Farm living history farm in West Chicago. But now its time to get this show on the road. ETD: 1st quarter 2019! There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 While the dates are not yet set, the Escapade will be in Tucson, AZ for the odd years of 2021, 2023, and 2025 as well. We got a bunch of major improvements there with more to come over the next years by signing a longer-term contract. Even years are not yet decided as the directors are constantly looking for new places to hold an Escapade. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
