XE5 A Great Time!!
I just got home from the 5th annual Xpedition Expedition, & I must say, it was an awesome time, even tho I could only go on Saturday's trip due to the fact I didn't have skid plates....
Lot's of fun & nice people, kids, & dogs....nasty weather for me, since we were camping out after the XE5, it just never stopped raining till we had already decided to come home early, because of the rain & because the hotel overcharged us for our stay depleting our fun funds. Oh well, Ford was there to enjoy partaking in & witnessing what us Expedition owners like to do in & to our SUV's!!
They held a raffle & I won the grand prize, including a SportRack cargo holder, they were very generous! Thank you Ford!!
I will be posting pics as soon as I can & I will for sure be making next years trip, as it was one to remember!!

I would have to concur. I had a blast even though I also could only take part Saturday due to time constraints. I will most definitely be there for the next one AND be there for BOTH days. It was cool meeting everyone and just hanging out. If anyone has good pics please email me, mine didnt come out to good. It was a really nice trip although I got caught up in traffic a few times going down and it took me 10 HOURS for a 7 HOUR drive. The GWNF was beautiful despite the weather. For all those that didnt or couldnt go you missed a good time. I would HIGHLY reccommend you try to make the next one.
Hey "TEXAS" YOU MADE ANOTHER WRONG TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you picked up a GPS to keep you on the right path and get you home!!!!!!!
MIKE, Tom, Jay GREAT JOB. Lets do it again next year!!!!!! Thanks to FORD for all the great stuff.
Mike & Jay hope your trannies got back together for Sunday.

It was very nice to meet you, 1999xlt & your wife.....I was looking forward to meeting you! There are a lot of names I forgot LOL, as there were so many people & not enough time!!
And I also wanted to thank Mike, Tom, & Jay for such a well organized event!!
And I also wanted to add that I was so happy that my tranny held up & sorry that Mike & Jay had problems with theirs, of course I didn't push it NEARLY as far as those nuts did!!

Ok kids... The XE5 Photo Gallery is up and running. I'm still waiting on some pics from other folks, but there are tons there to get you started! I should have the rest by the end of the weekend in addition to some video clips.
http://www.xpeditionexpedition.org/gallery is the direct URL to the Photo Gallery.
Jay and Shari... You guys seem to be pretty active on all the other boards. If you could pass the word, that would be stupendous!! ;-)
Enjoy,
