You don't need anything if you own property. If you can prove you own it, then nobody can stop you from visiting it. If someone trys to make you pay $120.00 to join some fictitiously self appointed organization, you're getting ripped off. If they won't let you in the gate, call the law.

You had better know where your property is then. Because if you stir up that nest you may get arrested for trespassing.

How do you go about finding your property anyway? The cryptic description on the deed isn't much to go on.
Do the RR people frown on surveyors or what?

[tekhanto]

Can visit property straight there and straight out  not riding around checking things out

[Anoriginal]

Arrested for trespassing? I doubt it. Not when everyone else who travels into RR trespasses too. Also, you can visit your property all you want along designated or prescriptive easements.

Everyone out there allows others to use there land therefore they arent trespassing. I wasnt trying to debate on this I was just simply saying what will probably happen.

If you don't join the RRPOA, I think they follow you to your land and you can't go anywhere else and if your land is outside of the camping area you cannot camp on it.  The 120.00 allows you and your family to use all of the land and facilities ....camp, hunt, fish, ride, etc. and then you can pick out a campsite in the 6,000 acre camp area, they also have family functions a couple times a year.
120.00 a year is not a big deal to go somewhere and be able to do all that and meet nice people 

Now bringing in guest is another story

Why and why not?

Because you are buying into a fenced Hunting Preserve, YES you have to have a deed to get in, but it is not really your land sort of like at a campground, you cannot build on it unless the State/County changed the zoning for all of the land.  It is like a gated community you might say..... so you have to obey by the rules, or don't bother  and go somewhere else.

[Joedirt]

I always have such a good laugh when I read RR threads...Thanks guys

I had no idea it was an actual licensed hunting preserve. Does the RRPOA own all the property that you get to hunt on?

ATTENTION: Necessities to enter River Ranch...aka...Redneck Riviera. To make it through gate with no problems, bring your wallet, one case of Busch Beer & 5 cans of copenhagen. If this dont get your whole group in then buy Busch Lite instead & make another attempt. If that dont work then just increase the number of said items until they agree.

Now that is funny!!!

[Bigscrb15]

River Ranch is one of those things that has been around for years and it's "Just how it is." I imagine you could fight it but it's not worth it. I have the mindset of "Just go ride and don't get involved in the politics." I completely agree with Anoriginals posts but I love to ride out there so I just do what they want and ride. If they became too ridiculous I would not go. For now It is worth me paying that much to ride per year.

Anoriginal , you are a loser. Just keep your original thoughts to yourself.
And to the person who owns property , That 120.00 goes along way up there to keep everything nice a secure. If it wasn't for the them it would end up like badluck prarie. Check it out .... just my 2 cent

Awww, now isn't that sweet? I am such a loser. Man, it must suck to be me. 
Hahahahahaha. 
Oneslow, take it easy there he man. There's no need to get your Montgomery Gentry undies in a wad. I'm just putting in my two cents just like everyone else. If you don't agree, I respect that.  However, there's no need to call me a loser. If you ever met me, you'd definitely realize I'm anything but. I know you're big and bad and ready to do battle to keep River Ranch the way it is. I don't want to get you all riled up. Just go back to your bliss and I'll go my way too. Hell, I'll even buy you a beer when we finally meet.

Sometimes, people struggle to see the light. I just like to flick the switch a few times so that more folks become aware. Like the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."


Peace!

One more happy new RR owner here.  $120 is not  bad.  Heck, the state charges $50/yr. for croom/ and RR is a heck of a lot bigger and you can get a permanent campsite plus the roads are graded and there is "some" security there.

  Can you provide the O. R. Book and Page or Plat Book and Page for these recorded easements?
Most of the deeds that I have seen are sectionalize land,

                                                                               SeeYa,Cy

[Anoriginal]

Most of the roads were platted long ago and are recorded. With a little reseach, you can pull up the plats (usually on microfische) which set forth the locations. As far as easements go, the plat provides the only reaonable/accurate source. In addition, you have countless easements by perscription, the most definite being the main entrance road.

As far as the deeds you've seen, you're right. Obviously they are based upon sections as all of Florida is described in sections ever since the enactment of the Disten Act in the mid 1800's. So, of course the deeds will be described in terms of section, township, range, halfs, quarters, etc.


Any other questions?

I wish I knew brother!  Hey, you know I'm on the riders' side on River Ranch. If I hit the 50 mil, maybe I can help keep it for all of us!
