A Sigh of Relief Goes The Crowd...Finally Friday!
While we didn't receive any rain yesterday, we did get some moisture overnight...2 tenths of rain was received. This afternoon as of 1 p.m., we have a current temperature of 53. It is partly cloudy today, but overall we have clear conditions as the sun has tried a little today to come out, but has been unsuccessful as of yet. Nevertheless, it is a nice day as we have already topped out at our high temperature of the day. The forecast is calling for possible additional showers for our area either tonight or early tomorrow, but we'll just have to wait and see & keep you posted. We have received NO rain thus far today. The weather outlook for this weekend looks particularly bright as it will be a great opportunity for everyone to get rid of the "cold weather blues" we have all had recently & get outdoors for some much needed recreational fun. Time to kick off your weekend...

A little moisture this week, but not much!
TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN....this includes all trails on both the North & East sides. Bill's Woods & the New Property are both open as well...ENJOY!
Mountain Creek is at 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. With only a little moisture this week, muddy conditions are not anticipated. There may be a few standing puddles in some low lying/shaded trails, but those will be few and far between. Otherwise, trails will be dry & great for weekend riding. Reminder: Just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water (from the April 2009 rains) 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.
Riders to RRMT, Inc. will now find that RRMT, Inc. has over 30 new point of interest signs installed out on the trails. These are a great new addition to the park & we are very proud of them! These signs will help you catch the iRide Bulcher, Texas fever as you continue to learn about the various unique parts of the RRMT, Inc. Facility!
** Please note that as of the winter riding season, our sign project has been put on hold. We will resume crafting and putting up the rest of these signs probably in the spring time frame, when all winter weather is completely over with!
RED RIVER
The Red River remains at its normal level. There still remains some lurking murky water/quicksand 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. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!
WEEKEND RV RENTALS
Do you have your RV Rental for this weekend? RRMT, Inc. offers Member RV Site Rentals on a daily basis. Reservations are recommended if you desire a particular RV Site. Otherwise, all walk-up RV Site rentals are welcome as well. Please note that in addition to these rental sites, as usual, RRMT, Inc. also offers free other campsites that are always available via first come-first serve for your convenience.
** As of this afternoon, we still have several available for weekend rental.
