TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Wishing you...



NO rain yesterday. We did receive a brief rain shower overnight...but looked in the rain gauge and it wasn't even enough to measure. This morning as of 10:05 a.m., we have a current temperature of 75 degrees. Only low 90's expected for high temperatures today. We have received NO rain thus far today. With a pleasant weekend outlook (only low 90's expected for Saturday & Sunday)...it's time to kick off the weekend...

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN..on both the North & East sides of the park EXCEPT the Bill's Woods & New Property Areas. Per our other blog announcement, these areas are closed for upcoming ENDURO & TORO race preparation. Mountain Creek is back to its normal level, except down toward the mouth of the Red River where we advise riders to use caution. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. The moisture we received overnight, wasn't enough to measure...just enough to wet the ground a little...so expect dust! Due to heavy rains back in April, just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water has really changed a lot of our trail system, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.

RED RIVER
The Red River remains at a low at this time. There still remains some lurking murky water being pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the river, so watch out for it...getting stuck is possible.

CREEK
While riding in Mountain Creek is possible and crossing the creek is also possible...please use caution when in the creek, especially further down the creek toward the river. It is very possible to sink your recreational vehicle in the creek due to quicksand if not careful. Riding in the creek is at your own risk. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!

Reminder #1...we still have a few ATV T-Shirts and park caps for sale. Prices are low in order to sell out of these t-shirts so we can make room for new park inventory. These t-shirts are 1 t-shirt for $6.00 or 2 t-shirts for $10.00. Help us sell out of these t-shirts so we can get new park merchandise! Our park caps are $8.00 each. Our ATV T-Shirts & caps are on sale at these new prices until we sell out!

Reminder #2...our Member RV electrical sites are still under construction. Thus, they cannot be rented for this weekend & due to them being under construction, people are NOT ALLOWED TO PARK AT THESE CAMPSITES UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THESE SPECIFIC SITES WILL OPEN ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2009! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.

Start making your riding & camping plans today...RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...tomorrow, Saturday, August 22 & Sunday, August 23 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
