Anza Borrego & Ocotillo Wells, CA

I just spent the whole day out at Anza Borrego and Ocotillo Wells behind the wheel of this monster. There are only two words I can think of to describe this truck:

IN.SANE.

Here's the breadcrumb trail from my GPS:

Tons of soft powdery sand. Tons of mud. Tons of rocks and boulders. Tons of climbs. Tons of descents. This truck handled them in stride. LadyNilla and I just giggled the whole day. This thing took everything we threw at it, and threw it back at us with a scoff.

Here's some pics from the day:
Never send a Chevy to do a Raptor's job (he didn't make it even after several attempts

Here's a three pic sequence of one of the (8 total) Raptor's that made it out today. We all got thru this with no problems.

The aftermath:

That last one was a little embarrassing. We thrashed through some mud (guys told me I was throwing 20ft roostertails) and, of course, I forgot to close the moonroof :duh:

Maybe the most impressive thing of the day was the response we got. We couldn't get by a group of bikes or ATVs without snapping a few necks, and answering a few "Is that a Raptor? Is it everything they say it is?"

Nope... its more.
