The Escapees RV Club

Tonight I was planning on putting in a few pictures from San Antonio area and of El Paso.   But my cell phone connection is so slow, it won't allow any pictures,  so I'll save them for another day.

  The parking we are leaving today is a membership park  run by the Escapees RV  Club, called Rainbow's End, and is the national headquarters.  There are over 84,000 members   The Escapee Club 0ffers  total support  for the RV'er and especially for the full timer.  For the full timer like ourselves it offers a legal mailing address which in itself gives us voting privilages.  Its home is the great state of Texas, which offers no state income tax, another bennie for us.  We registar our vehicles here and purchase our insurance,  and with an address can get Direct TV here.   If we get called for jury duty, the town knows the skip address and takes an understanding position if we don't show up.   Many of us don't  know we have pulled duty until we send for our next mail transfer.  We call at once and are told to stop in at the courthouse the next time we are in town and maybe they will use us then.    Some other great benefits are a magazine with great hints and places to see section, rallies, mail forwarding, dry camping at Escapee parks, lifetime sites if needed when you are ready to hang up those keys, emergency road service, and a adult care center program.   Escapee  Care Program is a one of a kind program that allows members to remain in their own RV while they recover from surgery or illness  at a special facility staffed with professional help.  There is no entrance fee to this nonprofit, tax -exempt  service.  

A sign on  I-10 in Texas we just past.   "Think Big, Your in Texas now"    Texas as been very good to us and we are proud to be here.
