Has anyone ever flashed??
I just checked some numbers and found that we have almost 6400 registered members on this site. In our travels the past year, we have probably seen several hundred Montanas and Mountaineers going and coming. Each time we flash our headlights and wave, but have never had anyone flash us back.
I was just wondering how many of you have ever had another member flash their headlights when you flashed them.
I can really tell that it is Sunday morning and I really don't have anything better to do .

That is how we met Mel and Joy in Levenworth, Washington. It was so much fun.

We flash and wave even if we aren't towing our monty! But, like you, no one ever flashes back.

Same here Little Rascal, with the same results. I figure we'll keep doing it anyway as were bound to come across someone eventually.

I think we're among the very few who have. When we were leaving the Shasta Rally, Rickety returned Steve's flashing lights ... at least, that's what he tells me ... I was asleep! They were both so excited, they couldn't wait to have an internet connection so they could post to find out who flashed them.

If I see them in time, I do flash an approaching Monty and only once had a flashback. Other RVers just get a wave.

I get so excited when I see another Montana on the road. We flash and wave, like others even if we don't have the RV on the truck! Usually, I get really bizarre looks and hesistant,"do we know them?" waves from other owners, but never have been "flashed" at!

Since we were on the same road as Steve and Vicki, coming back from the Shasta Rally, Bob also saw Rickety coming from the opposite direction. It is hard to see that we have a Montana because the truck covers up the end cap. We flashed but it was not returned. I was also asleep and missed the action.

Gary,
You're not alone. In six years of full timing and about two as a member of this forum, we have never had anyone flash their lights at us. We have seen many Montanas as we travel the entire US and have flashed at every one we've seen. No return flash.

It's good to know that we aren't alone in this respect. We always wave and flash and hopefully we will get an answering flash someday.

Besides Rickety returning our flash, a couple of years ago, east of Spokane, Montana Sky flashed us but I didn't see it. He was sans Montana. He later commented he thought he saw us because he knew about when we were coming through the area. And we were at the location he mentioned at the time he mentioned so that probably was us.

We have never had anyone respond to our flashing lights. I am a little nervous doing it around the big trucks as that is a signal that it is clear for them to move over. We are still finding lots of Montanas in parks where we are that have not heard about MOC.

Having just covered some 7,000 miles over the past 7 weeks, I have yet to have anyone flash back.
Steve,
I will allow you 1 "freepass" for not blinking back. LOL!! I do remember the day that we passed one another on I-90, you had your brown extended cab Ford towing your 3295RK.

Even though there are over 6400 registered on the forum that number is a fraction of Montana owners. according to the media center they rolled out the 20,000 Montana in March of 2004..over 2 years ago. There are probably 30k or more Montana's out there..We rarely see one.

All you need is one flash back to make it all worth it.
