Links to some photo galleries and videos below. The don't vids show the Escape unfortunately, I may get some later.
A great bunch of guys, and in the beginning there were some side glances at the Escape... "like really?" Definitely the underdog in this group. But then you'd here... "wow look at that". And one comment... "How 'bout it, the Ford Escape 4x4 of the year. By the end I think they had a little more respect for the little guy. The Escape was almost (or was) out of it's league but with some help from the guys I went with and a few scrapes bumps and bruises we got through it. More ground clearance in the front would have been great. The one Jeep suffered a broken linkage bolt to the sway bar, just took the linkage off and plowed on. The F150 got hung up once, but it was a big truck trying to get around some tight bends.
Fun time all in all but most likely won't do it again in the Escape, we'll see...

EDIT: I opted to remove the videos since they were not Escape centric. I've heard videos of the Escape are forth coming and will post if I get them.
