How often do you see another Eagle?
« on: December 07, 2024, 01:43:02 PM »
How often do you see Eagles out and about?

In my life, I have seen three out in the wild, but neither one on the road. A wagon in southern KS, another wagon in a backyard in SW WI, and the third one, an SX/4 in a junkyard. I have seen a number at the Kenosha show in 2022, but I don't consider that to be "out in the wild" along with a black SX/4 at a couple of car shows.

Once a year, possibly? There's two or three in Vancouver but on the road there are essentially none left driving around further north regularly.

Out in the wild I've only ever seen one that I recall, in 2020. Someone around Vancouver, WA has/had a brown wagon with a heck of a lift, rear bumper mounted CB antenna, and A-pillar gauge cluster. Kinda looked like a big RC car.

Other than meeting with another member here a few years ago, ( he has 3 or 4) very rare, once every other year or so. First one in probably 2 yards was this past July in or near Liberal Kansas when I was riding my motorcycle back from Las Vegas.
1 near Cheyanne WY 3 years ago.

The one near Liberal, KS is the one I saw too. Brown station wagon. I think the town was Meade, but I don’t remember for sure.
