# Welcome

Welcome to the Prairie City Oregon website. Nestled at the foot of the Strawberry Mountains, and straddling the Upper John Day River, Prairie City is the gateway to some of the most gorgeous and remote country in Eastern Oregon.

Originally founded where placer gold was found, cattle ranching, timber and tourism are the current mainstays. Tourists are very welcome and encouraged to visit our beautiful valley with mountains all around. For a small town we have great accommodations including the super cool Historic Hotel Prairie, the very nice and recently upgraded Depot RV Park run by the City and numerous AirBNBs and other lodging. We have a few interesting shops and buildings and a historic restaurant The Oxbow. But best reason to visit is the excellent outdoor recreation opportunities.

If you are into motorcycles, ATVs, hunting, snowmobiling, bicycles, mountain bikes, hiking, backpacking or cross country skiing Prairie City is the hub of it all. With many hundreds of miles of paved roads, two tracks, single tracks, and trails you will never run out of places to explore. The adventure all begins and ends in Prairie City.

# Example Modal

Here is how you can add additional content to your page without having it take up space…use a modal!

To do that make a .md file in the `content/modals` directory.

Put any markdown content in it including shortcodes.

Then just link to it in a section markdown file using the link shortcode.

example

    {{< link url="#modal-test" text="A test modal" type="btn" display="modal" >}}

where there is a file `test.md` in the `content/modals directory`

and the url is `url="#modal-<modal file name without .md>"``

You can put images from external sources in this way

but it’s probably better to use the plugin shortcode for your images
