1st Off Road Trip In Excursion
Just thought I would share some pics from my 78 mile off the paved road trip in the excursion this weekend at Mount Baker in WA.

Many Passes like this:
Where the wife would look up:
Or down:
We did not do anything real extreme and had no issues with the excursion at all and the views were well worth the drive and fir the entire day we did not see one other person. Just thought I would share some pics.

I feel your pain. The Oregon coast isn't any different.

It's coming just wait for it. I've grew up in north bend Oregon and now live in the cascade foot hills east of portland, which gets even more rain.

Great country! After living in the MidWest for a dozen years I am very happy to be back out in the Pacific NW. I will put up with a little gray and rain in the winters for the summers and fall. In the MidWest it was a nice spring after the snow left, then a humid summer with severe weather potential, then a decent fall and then snow and freezing rain in the winter with every tree looking like it was dead.....
I will take the rain and the green trees every day!
Continue to enjoy the country in your Excursion, they are great rigs. I enjoyed mine for over 175,000 mile before moving back to a CC F250.

Here in Washougal Washington (40 min. East of Portland) we get the same rain as Portland but double the density caused form the cloud compression of the mountains. But fortunately I live 1200 ft higher than Portland so we get snow a lot instead of rain.
