A couple of years ago on the way to Utah / Colorado for wheeling, my wife and I decided to take a detour.
In eastern Nebraska, there is a fossil site called the Ashfall Fossil Beds:

It had rained the night before...
Pay to play is also a thing. Permit money helps keep access open. When I used to snowmobile, I bought club memberships for all the places I rode. Some years, over five memberships. Those groomers are thirsty and break all the time!
@stampede1 everything you say I would agree with. I would add that many people who claim the Braptor is too wide have never even driven one off road. Stock it is a total package of rock crawl, high speed running and on road comfort that is almost unbelievable. I had a 2dr 2.7L basesquach all...
I wheel in Colorado hopefully at least once a year. I was unaware of proper permitting until this year. It is SO important to pay your part in keeping the trails open.
I bought two permits and likely wonāt even make it this year.
The attached YouTube is long, but covers EVERYTHING you need...
I am fortunate to have both a RRaptor and a Braptor. I donāt really care if the haters donāt like the flares. If there is a decision to take either off road, the Braptor ALWAYS wins hands down. Now, for a road trip, the RRaptor wins.
I would love to see a G wagon, late model Range Rover, 911 Dakar or that off road Lamborghini that I canāt spell the name of in Moab or Ouray! I have to say, Braptors and Jeep 392ās are some of the most expensive stock rigs I see out on trails.
