TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy Friday...
It's the last weekend before Thanksgiving rolls around next Thursday!
Have you caught the holiday riding/camping fever yet?



NO rain yesterday or overnight. This morning as of 8 a.m., we have a current temperature of 55 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast this morning. The forecast is calling for highs in the upper 50's today and possible rain showers. But until we see rain, we won't believe it. We have received NO rain thus far today. The forecast for the weekend looks fantastic both days...sunny skies and temps in the 60's on both Saturday and Sunday. It's time to kick off the weekend...have a great one!

Another dry week here in the Red River Valley...

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. Due to the cooler temperatures we have been experiencing, don't be surprised if there are still some lingering puddles in low lying/shaded areas on some of the trails. Furthermore, expect dust due to the fact that we haven't received any measurable rainfall in weeks. 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 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.

While it doesn't look as though we'll get phase 4 signs completely installed prior to Thanksgiving weekend, riders to the park now will find that we do have 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!

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 OUTLOOK
It's the weekend before Thanksgiving...everyone is starting to get in that festive holiday mood that this time of the year brings. While your "to-do" list is probably a mile long around the house, yes all those things can wait for another couple of days....it's gonna be a great weekend to ride!

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.

Note: As of this morning, we still have several Member RV rentals available for this weekend!

Registration is now open for current 2009 members to renew their memberships for 2010. You can mail your stuff in or bring it with you to the park office on your next visit.

NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...tomorrow, Saturday, November 21 & Sunday, November 22 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.
