Default Range Rover Railway!

so a couple of weeks ago we took my green range rover on a little bit of an off road excursion. stumbled onto an abandoned rail road grade and decided to drive down it for the next 15 miles and found some pretty interesting sights along the way!















after the tracks turned into a bike trail, we ended up field blasting through an open hunting reserve that is open for trucks and SUVs



and proceeded to bear blast the tall grass




never thought it'd be possible to have this much fun at 10 mph

Great pix, like the trestle and the zoommed pavement for sure. And you found Spike!

thanks guys. we love our rovers and as iowa has the highest number of roads out of any state (when you count the dirt and gravel ones) we have a lot of fun exploring places we never wanted to take our nice cars before kind of an amateur photographer as well so you will see lots of shots when we go exploring
