Big Bend National Park is one of my favorite places. Pictures do NOT do it justice. I love camping in the basin and love white water rafting in Santa Elena Canyon. I went when I was a kid in an Oldsmobile and later in a beat up Toyota Corolla....and a few years later in a Ford Ranger. I would love to experience it in a Raptor. Thanks for sharing!! Rick

Yes SVT,
The wife & I went there 2 years ago right after spring break and had a blast.....mine got scratched up as well, but that's what I bought her for...it was a last minute thing so we were only there for 2 days, but would love to go again....here's some of our pics

Thanks for the pics!! I would love to see more! Were you in Big Bend Ranch or the National Park? Which routes did you take?

We went to the National Park, 1st day we settled at the lodge, and drove the paved roads. The next day we went down the Old Maverick Road to Santa Elena Canyon, then to Castolon and River Road West onto River Road East, to Rio Grande Village. From there up the Old Ore Road to Dagger Flat and back out Persimmon Gap. Not sure if I mentioned it before....it was a last minute thing, I read an article in Texas Monthly about a bucket list for Texans and to go on this Road down by Lajitas......needless to say we never made it....but next time we go, we'll spend more time planning!!

Very cool pics - good to see folks getting out and running the Raptor without worrying about getting it dirty or scraped.

That could be my Raptor (had it looking like that many times) except mine doesn't have a green sticker in the windshield and it's got more "trophies" (scrapes) :thumbsup:
