Took a trip to some family land in Bristol because the weather was nice. 23 Acres mostly wooded with hills and some old ATV trails. The trails haven't been ran in a couple years, overgrown and some downed trees, mostly used for hunting lately. Not many places to get out and take pictures, thought I was gonna lose the camera a couple times and had to take it off. Some trails weren't wide enough to get through with the truck, and half the time I'm not even sure it was a trail. Ground was soft and some large rocks mostly in the washout areas, nice hills and a few open areas. I gave up worrying about scratches and just tried to keep it off the bigger trees.

No audio, all you hear is stuff screeching down the side of the truck lol

yeah, lots of good memories sledding, shooting, hunting, walking in the woods, mushroom hunting, camping, bonfires... My uncle even used it for cub scouts for a few years.

Where was my invite?

I would of extended some invites, but it was a spur of the moment thing, and i wasn't even sure that any trail was passable.
