        Aerial view of all the trails:

        http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=33....1_-97.4529_Red).......

        Once the map launches, click on the "Aerial" link on the top navigational bar in the map picture frame. A drop down menu will appear & then select "Bird's Eye." When it changes to this viewing mode, use your mouse to scroll around different parts of the park & see a detailed view of all the trails. ENJOY! Another alternative to this program is Google Earth which requires a download.

          Sneaky, are you a member? When we went, the guys next to us were nice enough to give us the member code for the bathroom so my wife did not have to use the porta potties that we never saw anyway. My dumbass forgot to write it down.

            Bathroom codes change weekly. Also, holly is pretty strict about non members using member accommodations, so if you plan to camp any this year, which members do for free, you may consider paying for a membership. I think she prorated it for the rest of year. Member fee for daily use is 10 Vs 15. And camping is free Vs 10 per night. Plus you can ride during the week. I THINK the cost is 25 for the rest of the year. Normally it is 50. she has a facebook page and Jeff (does speed turn you on) is finishing up the new web forum for the website. I will post more later when I get home.

              Didn't mean to upset anyone by saying that. I simply asked the guys where the bathrooms were for my wife and he was nice enough to give her the code.

              I looked at membership... we don't plan to camp and not sure if we would make it out 5 times a year to cover the cost of membership.

                I'm not upset, but if they see you using the restroom without a member band on your wrist, the person who gave you the code would be questioned about it. Just FYI.

                Also, the bathrooms have been trashed a couple of times by people, and it gets annoying as a paying member to have them closed for repairs. A normal adult wouldnt be such an ass, but I have seen plenty of wanna be bad asses out there are.

                I would not say I live out there, but during the cooler weather I am there as much as I can be. I know the trails well enough that I rarely get turned around, and can show you as challenging trails as you want to see. I may not try them, but I will hold the camera while you do.

                  So are you down for the 24th? What do you ride out there. The group I go with not only has slower utility ATV's but some are not as well skilled and tend to take things slower. There is nothing worse than being held up on trails so I would not ask anyone else to be held up by my group.

                    The setup there is very nice for riding with different skill groups. Wherever there are tough trails there is nearly always an easy way in sight to take. Utility quads are great for 75% of the stuff, really outside of the beach area I'd probably rather have a 250cc utility one instead of my Raptor, either that or a Grizzly or Wolverine.

                      Well we can switch off for a few if you would like. haha. I think a Yamaha Warrior 350 would be perfect out there. There are not a lot of places to really use the full potential of those bigger CC race type quads.

                      Last time we went I ended up switching with my buddy and riding the dirtbike... he could not keep it up in the sand and we got tired of waiting on him.

                            There is a chance I may have room for more vehicles... just not sure about people.

                            You need to help me talk my brother in law into getting involved atvs.

                              Taking possession of a 02 CC F250 7.3turbo tommorrow with a whopping 139k on it. I am stoked I have been looking for a low mile one for a while. But thanks for the offer.

                                What is yall's opinion of the older Yamaha Warrior 350's for out at Red River? I am seeing a lot of 02-03 models in good shape for around $1500. Cheap enough for me to buy one with cash before the 24th.
