It's that time again! Another "Day in the Dirt" with the Raptor Expeditions group. Our last day-trip was in Anza-Borrego, and was a great success. This time, we're going to try something a little different. Many first timers aren't sure they're ready to tackle an actual Expedition Run, but want a taste of the off road experience. This is the event for you! Although all skill levels and experience are welcomed, this is a great trip for all ages and skill levels.
Our Day in the Dirt will take the group on a one-way trip, from Barstow to Las Vegas! This will allow the group to spend a day cruising the SoCal desert at a relaxed pace, which is only dictated by the comfort of each individual. There will be no organized overnight plans or group dinner, this is simply a point-to-point guided group drive. We welcome all Raptor owners, and encourage all types of passengers of all ages. This will be a great opportunity to get your tires dirty, get the truck sideways, and learn more about your vehicle as well as the Raptor Expeditions team, and what we do!
The group will meet in Barstow at 8AM, and after a short driver's meeting we will be hitting the trail to Vegas. The trail will take us over a variety of terrain, along power line roads, mountain passes, lava fields, desert washes, and more! We will be traveling on trails north and south of the I-15, crossing through Baker, Cima Road, Sky Ranch Estates, and eventually the Blue Diamond loop on the west side of Vegas. Those of you who have not experienced any runs with the Raptor Expeditions group, or driven trails in these areas are in for an entirely new experience that you're guaranteed to enjoy. We're expecting a large showing, so sign up now and join the fun!
