I would be all over that. I’m up the road in Rochester MN and that would be a great weekend with my oldest!

Revision, did you ever check out that other place you mentioned in your region thread that is pretty close to hillbillie?

Moonlight? I did not - read some reviews of it and found some videos, seemingly the place isn't well kept or signposted, the trails are all very tight, and some of the "easy" trails can actually be pretty tough. Not too keen on getting stuck in a tight trail and tearing up my truck, so figured I'd give it a miss. May go there at some point but opinions seem mixed on it. Looks like it may be catered more towards ATVs / UTVs, rather than trucks like ours.
Gotcha! Good information. Yeah I couldn’t agree more about not tearing the hell out of my truck, I like open spaces and don’t want to worry about my side mirrors ending up in the bed of the truck.

That's one reason I liked Hillbillie so much, most of the place was wide enough to fit the Raptor (and tighter trails had a lot of space beforehand to turn around or take an alternative route), and had a bit of everything - trails, open areas, mud, fast bits, slow bits, creek crossings, steep slopes, etc etc. There were areas we didn't even get to explore (the big mud pit, an area with jumps etc) as my buddies RZR had a slow puncture which stopped the fun for the day as we didn't have an air pump or a spare for it.

Here's a little video of my first lap attempt of the field, definitely felt faster in person! I got more bold as time went on, especially on the back straight. We also recorded our best lap times so we can try to beat them next time. I'll have a video up of my friends RZR lap later too.
That looks like a blast!!!!! Awesome video. You need to get your friend to sell his Tundra and Rzr and buy a raptor

Thanks! And there’s no chance of that lol - the Tundra belongs to his dad I think, he owns a pretty sorted Wrangler but it sucks to tow with. He did say he wanted a Raptor but a Gen 1, so who knows, maybe!
You can tell you were haulin' ass in the video. Defiantly looking forward to trying that place ASAP. I feel like going with buddies would be a lot more pleasant if they were in trucks or even full sized jeeps over ATV/UTVs because that's kinda cheating, haha!
It's sorda like owning a lambo and some jack-ass comes flying past you on a 10k crotch rocket thinking they are better than you lol
