Happy "Good Friday"...
* Black Lagoon - Located in the Madagascar Section of RRMT, Inc.
If you're one of the lucky ones...then you have today off and you have already kicked off your Easter Holiday Weekend. For those that have to work today...look on the bright side...only a couple more hours and then you'll be starting the weekend later this evening as we head into the official Sat./Sun. Weekend.
As suspected, overnight and early this morning we had a.m. thunderstorms roll thru our area. Those storms brought us a total of a quarter of an inch of rain. As of 9:25 a.m., we have a current temperature of 65 degrees. The skies are a little dark, but they are getting lighter as this is trying to clear off...it just might take thru the morning to do so completely. As of currently, we have received NO additional rain. By afternoon, we are expecting sunny skies & upper 70's for highs today.
After these thunderstorms completely pass thru....it looks as though we are in store for a gorgeous weekend. Sunny skies & temperatures in the 70's as well as 80's expected for the holiday weekend. We are ready to kick off the weekend, hope you are too!

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN....this includes all trails on both the North & East sides. Bill's Woods & Madagascar (aka..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 because a lot of water from the Red River is currently backed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. As always we would like to remind everyone that just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. With all the moisture this winter (snow & rain)...a lot of our trail system has been changed, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.
With the recent rain shower, expect some puddles and mud on trails. However, the amount of rain received was actually a nice amount to help settle the dust & make riding perfect. (Our dry conditions & sand are going to soak up all this moisture with no problem.) It's gonna be a great day & weekend to ride!
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
Due to recent moisture from past weeks, the Red River is currently bank to bank. There is actually a lot of lurking murky water/quicksand being pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the river, so watch out for it...getting stuck is always a possibility in certain areas in the creek.
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/water 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.
