Nice shots!

How are the trails out there, these days? I was told things have become a bit more difficult.

This one doesn't really have the angles or clearance I'm used to; certainly not the step height.

I didn’t have any issues at all running all the trails other than Dutch and Daniel. Falls Dam has a gnarly mud pit that will 110% destroy your truck but I’m glad I have the RR and not the 150 because I barely made it through the bypass with the mirrors folded in.

Under almost no conditions would I drive this thing through that mud hole.

Yeah, I was worried about the width most of all.

I took Daniel in my Rover without much hassle, and everything else there; but that was a few years ago in a vehicle with more capability and tighter dimensions. Sounds like I wouldn't enjoy those trails much in the Raptor, yet.

I need to get used to visibility more. I'm not keen on using the camera to see where I'm going.

I'm not sure as to the purpose of the pit, but as I understand it its way worse now. IIRC it used to be passable at one point in a 4x4 but not so much anymore. The bypass isn't much friendlier either, a full size truck isn't making it through the bypass without pin striping at the very least.

This was my first time out on the trails but have been following posts for years and from what I see, Daniel and Dutch are way worse and harder to get through for "normies". They've been wrecked by irresponsible morons.

Daniel was always one of the highlights of the Southeast, to really test a vehicle. It wasn't the most difficult available, but it may well be now, after other closures and dingbats messing it up.

Last time I was there someone was dragging a vehicle through it that had no business there, and was damaging the trail, in the process.

There is no shortage of the daily dose of idiots there destroying the trails
