57th Escapade

Boomers potluck for the Thursday night Happy Hour.
What a great time we had at the 57th Escapees Escapade at the Pima County Fairgrounds south of Tucson. We parked with the Boomers BOF (Birds of a Feather group) and it was great to see not only a few people we had just been boondocking with in Bouse, but people we haven't seen since last year. Add to that the fun of making new friends and you know I'm having a fabulous time! Even though there were lots of seminars, I focused on meeting people and renewing friendships rather than stuffing my brain with more info.

Mostly we went to Happy Hour with the Boomers, but one day we met up with the Boondockers where we felt like some of the "Experienced Ones"! That was kinda funny to me, but Jerry pointed out that it was actually true. We've been boondocking for years, going out to the sand dunes with our sand toys when the kids were younger. Good times. We've never really been that much into RV parks. They are fine sometimes, but we'd much rather be boondocking or dry camping.
Woodie and the Longboards

They had some great entertainment with Native Spirit, world class Native American dancers on Sunday evening, then a group who played Beach Boys and Eagles songs which was great fun on Monday. Many got up to dance to the music. So much to do: many seminars, Happy Hours, crafts, line dancing, Zumba, meet ups, shopping and people to talk to. I didn't try to do it all, but I got my money's worth!

And then before you know it, it's time to hook up and head off with "Safe Travels" and "Happy Trails" and "See you down the road!" ringing in your ears. Yep, these are my peeps!
