Most of our funding comes from the residents that live at the lake full time. We have the second highest run volume in our area with a lot of trama due to the fact that this is a lake community and somewhat because of some poor roads which lead to the lake. Twists and turns, hills and dips, Etc. Considering the negitives, We remain positive and continue to care for our neighbors as only a neighbor could. SKI TEXOMA !
