This ride is normally quite dry and even when it rains, we
have scattered puddles but nice ones. This was UNUSUAL for our area...we
had flood warnings in several counties around us. I have never seen this
much rain. I need to find out exactly how much we got. Several
inches over the weekend alone, I am sure. It has also been a wet
spring for us. I suspect that those churned up areas will be packed down
and dry by the time we ride there in September. Two years ago it was
so dry that the sand was like sugar and easily 12 inched or more deep...the
sand was great though this weekend. :) I think we also do not have
the numbers of riders on this trail that some of the other horse trails
have. But I don't believe any of them have ever been shut down for
rain. Maybe Jeanie Miller has some insight?
