The Road Less Traveled

Published on Jan, 2025

Ryan is the best guide. Very cool. Tell him if he is ever in OKLAHOMA to look me up. Your crew was AWESOME. I think my side by side needs a few bolts tightened. Can't wait until you get the new cars with the upgraded suspension. Mike Massey 405-919-2196 cell.

Buggy Fun!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was so much fun! I highly recommend! Ryan was a wonderful guide! It is very very bumpy so if you have any body issues you should be careful. My husband and I are in our 70s and we came away unscathed. It is VERY VERY. Dusty so be ready to be covered head to toe! My husband was like a kid driving the buggy and it was very safe , beautiful and loads of fun!
