TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy August!

Where has summer vacation gone? With the first day of August upon us, now begins the countdown until back to school for many of you. With that, there is no better time to come out and ride and camp RED RIVER!

Again, NO rain yesterday or overnight. Still hot & dry...it's beginning to be the same 'ole story. This morning as of 10 a.m., we have a current temperature of 84 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast here at the moment, but we are expecting warm temperatures again this afternoon, even if the sun doesn't make its debut today. We have received NO rain thus far today.

We're ready for the weekend & hope you are too!

RRMT, INC.'S RAIN GAUGE RECAP

* Thursday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of 10:00 a.m.

***** Another repeat of last week...very dry & hot! *****

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility. (Except Bill's Woods & the New Property still remain closed at this time.) Very, very dry week....dusty trails are to be anticipated.

RED RIVER
The Red River continues to recede due to receiving no recent moisture. Since the river has receded, the amount of water pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek is becoming non-existent as well...but regardless, still be on the lookout for creeping amounts of quicksand in the creek that may possibly still lurk as you can sink your recreational vehicle if not careful. The only place where mud/quicksand will possibly be an issue is in the creek and NOT on trails.

CREEK
Creek riding is not a problem as Mountain Creek is at a low level and the amount of water pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek where it meets the Red River is non-existent. Thus the creek is crossable in a number of areas so riders may easily access the trails on both the North and East sides of the facility.

Summer vacation is almost over...don't waste another minute sitting around letting it pass you by...see you this weekend in Bulcher!

Just a reminder...per one of our blog posts...due to our dry conditions, there is a BURN BAN IN EFFECT for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend, tomorrow, Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, & Visitors Welcome This Weekend!

Happy Trails,
