New Guy in Southern RI

Hello Fellow Raptors,

I bought my 2012 Raptor in November. Having a blast with it. Looking to link up for some trail rides and learn as much as I can from you folks that have been around awhile.

I live in southern Rhode Island and spend time wheeling in Burlingame, Pachaug (CT), and on the beaches in Charlestown.

Thank you,

Josh

Welcome aboard. Not a Raptor owner (yet), but I'm not too far from you. I'm over in Swansea,MA, minutes from the MA/RI line.

Sweet.

When you say Southcoast, do you mean the south coast of RI or the Southcoast region of MA? I assume the former, but just wanted to confirm.

Ahh, ok, makes more sense. Do you take your Raptor offroad? If so, whereabouts? There aren't a ton of places near me, so I'm trying to find as many sites as possible for when I do eventually take the plunge and pick myself up a Raptor.

So far I've done some basic trails in Voluntown at Pachaug State Forest. Bit of hike for you. I also jumped through the hoops to get a Coastal Resource Management Council sticker to drive on the beaches in Westerly and Charlestown, RI. Mostly sand trails there. And there is one trail in Burlingame State Park. It's a loop - only a mile or two - but was a blast yesterday. I'm hunting for more. I've reaching out to the 4WD clubs in the area but they caution me that the Raptor is just too wide for most of their trails nearby. We'll see.
