Escapees: One family’s vision becomes a nationwide mission

(June 24, 2014) -- Joe and Kay Peterson loved to travel. They dreamed of being able to climb aboard the RV and head into the wilderness, famous national parks or historical cities to "live the dream." But, they didn't want to do it alone, so they formed a club in 1978 -- on July 4, to be exact -- with the idea of helping a few hundred RVers enjoy independence on the road. Today, with 50,000 members nationwide, the Escapees Club is one of the most popular, and growing groups of RV owners in the nation.
