Dear Tracks,
We are very pleased with our first Tracks Adventure. The leaders and their assistants did an excellent job. We were very fortunate to have a great group of caravaners.
As to the highlights of the trip, there were so many. The beauty of Oregon and Washington and Canada were the highlights for me. My husband really enjoyed the Boeing plant.
The only improvements might be in some of the meals. The campgrounds were all in all great. A couple of them were tight for the big units but well worth the views after we got settled.
We chose Tracks for this trip because this was the area we wanted to see. Other companies were not offering this trip.
We will definitely go with Tracks again. As for a future trip we are looking at the Gaspe Peninsula next fall. We would love to talk to someone that has already taken this trip and get their opinion.
I guess all in all we had a great time.

Dear Tracks,
Money’s worth? Yes, in our opinion it was worth it because; (1), the chosen campgrounds were appropriate and with good facilities, and (2), there were many tours and also lots of meals included.
It is in our opinion, that a company or organization’s name alone is not the key for success, but the people who represent it. The wagon masters on our tour were professional individuals who make the client desire to come back to the same company. Congratulations to both couples.
There were too many highlights of our tour. The first and most important; meeting lots of nice, friendly people especially the wagon master and the tail gunners who made possible the friendship among all of us. The most interesting places we visited were Crater Lake, Mount St. Helens, Seattle Space Needle, the Boeing 747/757 plant, the city of Vancouver, the Lava Lakes, Mount Rainier, the village of Leavenworth, the Warm Springs Reservation; etc. All places!
Maybe a few less days off toward the end of the trip would be an improvement.
We chose Tracks because of their reputation and information from the Tracks magazine.
We are considering the Copper Canyon or the Atlantic Canada tours.

Dear Tracks,
Yes, we got our money’s worth. It was a wonderful trip with a variety of sights and adventures. The wagon masters and assistants were great at handling their responsibilities and making the trip fun. They were also in tune with any special needs in the group.
Our highlights included Victoria, B.C. and the ferries, Olympic National Park and Rainforest, the small, friendly, and fun towns of Leavenworth and Winthrop in Washington, Butchart Gardens, High Tea at the Breathing House, the Indian campground in Warm Springs, Oregon, the dinner and show at Mt. Ranier, and camping on the bay in British Columbia.
Improvements may be to skip the boat ride to Chatterbox Falls and stay in some of the campgrounds a little longer.
We chose to go with Tracks for this trip because we had a great trip last year on the National Parks tour.
Yes, we are considering the Alaska tour and the Oregon Trail tour for the future, but need to save a little right now. We also want to go to the reunion in April.
