TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello Friday...

Well for those of you wondering...several thunderstorms and tornado sightings rolled thru our area last night. Luckily, no damage reported in our area, but we did get 1/2 inch of rain out of the big storm. This afternoon as of 4:15 p.m., we have a current temperature of 46 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast today with very windy conditions. We have received NO rain thus far today. If you have looked at the forecast yet for the weekend, you probably saw that it doesn't look too great...yes RAIN & SNOW SHOWERS (no joke) are predicted for tonight and early tomorrow morning. Do we expect any accumulation with the snow showers (if we even get any flurries)...NO! The ground is way too warm here for anything to stick. However, if we end up getting any precipitation, it will probably just make things messy & be short-lived as usual. The cold front has blown into the Red River Valley. While we are not expecting any really bad conditions (just cold weather), those traveling into northern Oklahoma should probably call ahead because parts of northern Oklahoma are currently under a blizzard warning (believe it or not for almost April)...ice and snow in parts of Oklahoma have already blown in. But again, we are not expecting anything to that extent for our area, just cooler temperatures, with a high of 50 expected for tomorrow (Saturday) with potential A.M. snow flurries and then mid to upper 60's anticipated for Sunday....Sunday is anticipated to be the best day for outdoor activity of the weekend.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE OPEN THIS WEEKEND REGARDLESS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS!

Have a nice weekend...here's our usual Friday comprehensive report!

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility, including Bill's Woods & Pete's Gate. Luckily this weekend due to recent rain, riders won't have to worry about any dust. Expect some puddles here and there out on the trails due to Thursday evening's rain shower coupled with cooler temperatures today, Friday.

RED RIVER
The Red River remains at a low level at this time. ** While you may ride in our creek area, be on the lookout for creeping amounts of quicksand towards the end of Mountain Creek as you can sink your recreational vehicle if not careful. ** Furthermore, please note that RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!

CREEK
Creek riding is not a problem as Mountain Creek is at a low level. 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.

Please note that the BURN BAN has now been lifted for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc. However, extreme caution is advised due to windy conditions.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend, tomorrow, Saturday March 28 and Sunday March 29 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend! Please note: RRMT, Inc. is currently observing fall/winter park hours. However, starting April 1st...we extend our hours...8 a.m. to 8 p.m....but that doesn't start until April...so get ready for spring/summer hours to start soon next month!

Here's to a great weekend...
