Well, the Escapade ended Friday, there were 1017 RV's and 2250 people in attendance. We attended a few seminars; geocaching, Cowgirl Nan about local history, a melodrama by a local theater group, materialistic minimalism or getting along without much, ice cream social, closing ceremonies, & the 30th birthday party. Friday morning we went to the Gillette Independence Day parade, they did good! Friday evening we invited several new friends & fellow HitchHikers over for a social. As it got darker there was an amazing fireworks display by the subdivision across the street. Lots more than we saw sitting at Wamplers Lake, these people in Gillette go bonkers over fireworks. A little after 10pm these was a large professional display here at the Cam-Plex grounds (convention center/fairgrounds where the Escapade was held) so we just swiveled our lawn chairs around to watch. Gillette is a major coal mining area and we stopped at a park on the Cam-Plex grounds to check out some mining equipment.
Saturday we hooked up and drove the 150 miles to Rapid City SD where we are staying for a week at another free membership CG. We like free, so far we've saved $1500 on the $5700 membership we purchased in March.
Sunday we went to church, had lunch at Wendy's, grocery shopped, relaxed and planned our route back to MI.
