I remember hearing about this place alot, haven't really recently though.  I've never been there but would like to try it out maybe?  Where's it at, and how legal is it?

I just rode there with my kid about a week ago. don't own any land and there was about 25 other people there that did'nt own any land either. Fron what i understand even owning land will no save you from harasment, if the cops are there they are going to ask you to leave. You take your chance anywhere that's not designated by the state or that you own personely your self or recreational property like river ranch. Just ride and take your chances screw it.

You take your chances when you park on the side of the road. It would really suck to come back from a great ride to find your hauler had been towed.

Luckily for me they will need a semi tractor tow tuck  to tow my hauler

For the Newbies...might want to educate your self on this.

The Prairie is CLOSED to the general public. You HAVE to own land or be with an land owner to ride on their property. "When" not "IF" you're stopped you must prove you are a land owner or you will be escorted out, and if you give them a hard time your bikes will be impounded.

FYI the "Sheriff Himself" monitors this website.
