New here…

[Free Willie]

We are on 5 Mile Prairie, N of Francis.
Top of the hill, what was the country back then, now only a few fields left.

I used to ride my dirtbike out there, Kaiser Aluminum used to own all that land and it was open to riding,had to push my bike 3 blocks and then ride all day. I look at satellite views now and it's all filled with houses.
