I just got back from a 4000 km (2500 mi), six day trip to Vancouver Island and back with four people. The Escape was great. It is a super vehicle for the BC mountains and curves. The weather was great and I took a few pics that I will post later once the photoshop puts them up on the net for me to pickup. As mentioned the Escape was great. I passed the 60,000 km mark and am now at almost 63,000 kms. The Escape has been terrific. I love my new chrome rear tailgate lifter, it really jazzes up the Escape. Next accessories will be new door speakers and the suvfx rack. Love my Escape Gary

I took a few pictures of my Escape on the trip, but it was the worst photography that I ever have done. I guess as my eyesite gets worse, so does my focus. The lighting was also very poor, as my dramatic backgrounds were too bright and washed out. One picture that did turned out, shows the new chrome rear tailgate handle. (Club photo for a few days). I really like it. Gary
