I am thinking about taking my first trip to croom soon and was wondering does anyone think I will have any  trouble getting a permit? I have a kawasaki  Prairie 360 4x4 and it does not meet the below spec's . just wondering if anyone had any advice on the matter. it seems is has to be less than 500 pounds? I know it weights at least 600 and it's wider. just not sure?

As long as it is not modified to be wider, you'll be OK. Don't worry about the weight.

Thanks for the input guys! I am really looking foward to it. I have been saving up for this thing for almost a year and was shocked to see that the only legal place close to my area might not be and option. I have only been riding for a short time now but I really enjoy it. thanks again for the advice.

An hour is subjective. Depends on how fast you drive.  Wink But around an hour give or take a few mintues. But it's much better than croom. -Mark
