what is stoping you?

On a side note everyone..take a minute. O know it sucks.........but find out you Count Commisioners name.
       E-mail them a nice letter.....asking  your county to purchase land to put aside got Conservation.  Let them know that ATVs could be a good source of income (yearly fees you know)  We are a fun bunch, but for the most part concientious.
     Write a short letter...........I sure hate to lose my riding area where I am at...but everyday I read of more house and condos
  There is power in numbers.........................we have a good website here.
        Just need someone to use it.

We were out there weekend before last and we had MAJOR problems.  Two deputys on ATV's stopped us when we were riding and said there was no riding except on private property you owned or were an invited guest on.  They said riding on roads was against the law too, paved or dirt.  Sent us away with a warning.  We did not pack up and then two of our friends went to ride again towards the spillover.  Another deputy in a truck stopped them and called the others back over.  Since they had been warned he arrested both of them and had the bikes picked up.  Bail was $1000 each.  They have to go to court in November and cant get the bikes back until then, if ever.  That is last time I will ride out there.

The Prairie is closed and is patroled like JeepGirl said...
If you own land you can ride on it.
