Time to Pack it In

Friday came and we loaded up the Escapade trailer, signaling the true end to Escapade for this year. the staff functions like a well oiled machine. Most of the staff have been doing "their thing" for many years.

 

Once all was packed up and loaded, we just sat back to relax.

Friday evening Carol and I went out to dinner with two of her cousins.

 One cousin and her husband are the directors for Escapade, the other  cousin and his wife came in from Chico California for Boot Camp and Escapade. We drove to a hamburger joint called Hot Rods, near the fairgrounds. Besides being a restaurant, they are also do custom hot rod builds, which can be viewed from the restaurant. They offer a variety of food from salads to BBQ. A favorite is the "Mac and Cheese" burger. For the mac and cheese lover, you can't beat it. This burger is two beef patties in a mac and cheese bun, yes, a MAC and CHEESE BUN. This year Carol and I kept it simple, a salad and appetizer each. The salad and appetizers was vary large, we brought home three containers of leftovers, I ate all my salad.

As I am writing this I am enjoying some of the spoils from last night. Today will probably be a quiet day, we might watch the Air Show this afternoon.

Here are some late entry pictures from the week gone by.

Out to dinner with friends.

These pictures are only a representation of living a dream.






Carol and I went for a leisurely stroll around the fairgrounds, and bid farewell to some of our friends (yes, I did pay them so I can call them friends). We took a break, just long enough, before we went on a whirlwind tour for gas and food. Gas was uneventful today.

 The RanchO RusticO is a sit down Mexican restaurant with good food, and decent prices. The next stop on our tour was to Freddie's Frozen Custard. For you west coasters that never leave California, they are similar to In and Out, with frozen custard. We both ordered Chocolate Fudge Brownie Delights, and we both brought half our servings home. There was an air show this afternoon, it was rumored that we might be able to see it from the fairgrounds, didn't happen. We got back to the trailer and collapsed. We are planning to depart for San Diego tomorrow morning.
