TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hi Everyone....you are all getting an "end of the day" update, but tomorrow I can assure you there will be periodic updates posted (hopefully morning, noon, and early evening) to aid many of you in making your weekend riding plans.

The first thing this morning, things at RRMT, Inc. looked pretty gloomy. Several hours this morning before lunch it looked like it could rain at any moment. And in fact, this morning, we actually received a few sprinkles of rain. But basically the rain didn't amount to anything at all...it wasn't even enough to even measure in the rain gauge. Then around lunch, things cleared off and the rest of the day we enjoyed clear, sunny skies. So thus, we received NO measurable amount of rain today as of 9:35 p.m. this evening.

Just to clarify we are NOT FLOODED! We keep getting many emails and telephone calls asking about how flooded we are....this is not the case. The only thing is that toward the end of the creek where it meets the Red River, there is a lot of water pushed back up in there...this water is self-contained in the creek alone...it is not getting out on the property. So the only thing unrideable is that you cannot ride in the creek all the way to the Red River. Currently the creek is crossable all the way from the old main sand pit campgrounds all the way to the curve under Pump Jack Hill. The Red River is still flowing bank to bank and backing water up in the creek up till Pump Jack Hill. So thus, water in the creek has receded significantly. All of our trails are OPEN. None of our trails are flooded. Also, because the creek is crossable from the old main sand pit campgrounds to down past the creek that runs by the 2nd gate area, there are plenty of places where people can cross to access the trails across the creek on the east side of the property. Therefore, the Dennis, Kewanee Oil Camp, and trails all over by the Red Bull Barn again can be accessed very easily now due to low creek levels at the beginning of the creek area away from the mouth of the Red River. Also, please note that the majority of the trails at RRMT, Inc. are on the north side of the property...Trials Area, Airplane Hangar, Joshua Tree, Texas Stadium, Triple Threat, Rock Bluff...so therefore, all of these areas are virtually unaffected because riders do not have to cross any body of water (Creek nor Red River) to access them.

Again, we'll be updating you all tomorrow on the latest and greatest weather and trail conditions. But all in all, if you look at the weather conditions this past week, we have received NO rain this entire week. As a result, we have enjoyed warm, sunny conditions which have further allowed the random puddles in trails to dry out and also, it is helping the water in the creek recede as well.

So all in all, unless something just drastic happens in the weather in the next day or two (which you never know...we are in Texas), we are expecting a continuation of the current conditions...clear sunny skies and good trail riding.

Happy Trails,
RRMT, Inc. Staff
