TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS
Good Morning!
As of 5 a.m. this morning, we have awoken to the sound of rain. At this early time, it's hard to tell how much it has showered and what the forecast and outlook is like for today. Hopefully this is just an early morning shower and then things will clear up, but it is impossible to tell until later on in the day when it becomes light outside.
As of 10 p.m. this evening...those of you that did not make it out to the park today missed out on a good day for some trail riding. The sun came out, but towards the afternoon it turned pretty humid. Overnight and early this morning, we ended up getting 1/2 inch of rain. The rain was enough to moisten the trails and keep all the dust away. There are still random puddles in some of the trails, but for the most part, riding was really good.
Believe it or not, the waters in the Red River have actually receded. The water in the creek however, has risen making crossing the creek difficult in most areas. Yet, since the majority of our trails are on the north side of the property, there are still plenty of areas to ride without even crossing any water.
Happy Trails,

TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS
As of 9:45 a.m. we have received no rain here today. We also received no rain overnight. From the looks of the grass, we may have received a few sprinkles overnight, but not enough to even measure in the rain gauge. Skies are clear here today and we're hoping that's a sign that the sun will be coming out later, which will continue to help dry things out.
Again, we are feeling more and more confident with only 2 inches of rain total this week, (which was from late Monday/early Tuesday) that the trails may still be a little damp, but a lot of the mud (on the actual trails) will be dried out, and with the cooler temperatures, the trails may be just perfect by this weekend for good traction and no dust.
As of 12:45 p.m.....we'll keep our fingers crossed...but so far, our predictions are coming true...the sun is out finally...yeah! So with the sun out, no rain, and no cloud in sight...this will further help with the drying out process. I think we are all in for a good weekend...Happy Friday!
Update as of 6 p.m., this afternoon, we had two spells of rain showers come through. The total amount of rainfall received was only 3 tenths. So luckily it wasn't much.

TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS
As of 10:15 a.m. this morning, we have received NO rain here at the park today. We also received NO rain overnight. Even though we have received no rain here at the park since Tuesday, due to all the rain out west, Red River continues to push lots of water back up in the creek area, creating a muddy creek and in some parts uncrossable creek area. The creek is very muddy. And despite no additional precipitation, due to the much cooler temperature conditions (low 70's yesterday and today), we haven't really had much sun to dry things out. But we are hoping with no additional rain the rest of this week, the trails should be in good riding conditions for the weekend. We'll just have to wait and see what becomes of the weather today (Thurs) and tomorrow (Fri). Also, because the creek is crossable in some areas, access to ALL the park trails is still possible with our current weather/trail conditions.
Also, we have been asked about the weather temperatures at night. It really is great camping weather because you're not going to get hot. In fact, a sweatshirt is probably a good thing to pack.
As of 11:30 p.m., the latest info. on today's weather and trails are as follows: NO RAIN AT ALL TODAY. Yeah! We rode many of the trails this evening in order to take some pictures for everyone and give you the latest info. Today's weather ended up being actually pretty nice. Low 70's throughout the day and then even cooler temperatures this evening. Camping weather, especially, has never been better.
In order to provide everyone with a "preview" of the park conditions, not only did we ride the park today, but we also had our camera with us...because in most cases, a picture is worth a thousand words...so here you go...
This first picture is of the CREEK. Not the Red River, but the creek. Because Red River has pushed so much water up into the creek area...this is what it looks like in some places. (This particular place is not far down from where the creek and the Red River meet) Per our blog, this is one of those creek areas in which we were talking about being "uncrossable." The creek area up by the sandy main old campground areas does NOT look like this. If you are wanting to cross the creek in order to get to the trails on that side of the park, then crossing the creek first thing will be what you need to do to access those particular trails. But again, NONE OF OUR TRAILS ARE CLOSED. All the trails are accessible and open to riding even though the creek can only be crossed in select places. Also, in fact, the majority of our trails, probably 2,000+ acres are on the north side of our property anyways and do not require crossing a creek or any body of water to begin with.
This second picture, I thought was pretty neat. This evening as we were riding, it was so cool out (temperature wise), that we weren't alone...a lot of wildlife was out. Here is a picture of the deer that was watching us.
This third picture was taken at the "Waterfall." Many of you will recognize it from the Red Bull LMS 2005 race except that back then, it really didn't have much of any water in it. Today, it was very scenic with lots of water.
This fourth picture we really feel is worth a thousand words...the reason being is because it conveys the trail conditions at the park. While mud is a problem to a certain extent, also due to the recent rains, you may be riding along just fine, but then come to a big puddle in the middle of the trail, like shown what happened to us today. So basically we just found a different way around and we were well on our way. The puddles are kinda random.
The last three pictures are various pictures taken of the Red River. It is evident from these pictures that the Red River is flowing bank to bank and is very wide. No sandbar in sight...
This is a picture of the Red River taken from the top of Triple Threat.
This is a picture of the Red River at the mouth of the creek area.
This last picture of the Red River is taken at the old campgrounds down by the River.
** Just to clarify, these RRMT Trail/Weather Conditions Blog are written by RRMT, Inc. Staff that are actually at the park in Bulcher. We cannot emphasize enough that these are the most accurate conditions that you will get anywhere. We are well aware that on forums, riders like to speculate about what the weather/trails are like at Bulcher or various other riding places. Again, if you want the weather/trails reported accurately, please always check our blog site for the most accurate and up-to-date conditions in real time. **

TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS
As of 8 a.m. this morning, we had no additional rain overnight. The sun is trying to break through. It appears as though with the sun trying to come out this morning, we will be able to dry out a little today.
We keep getting phone calls and emails concerning whether we received as much rain yesterday as in the DFW metroplex. The answer is no. Again, thus far, we have only received 2 inches total this week & have no flooding.
As of 11:15 a.m., we still have not received any additional rain today thankfully. It has turned out to be overcast today and cooler with the sun going back in and hiding behind the clouds. Nice weather to be outside.
As of 9:40 p.m., we received NO rain at all today. The creek is still uncrossable in areas and is backing way up in the main creek area since the Red River is running bank to bank. But luckily with no precipitation today, we are preparing for a good trail riding weekend.

TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS
Last night, we received 1 inch of rain. Today (Tues.) has been a fairly nice day with partly sunny skies and slight overcast. We had not received any rain today until approximately 3 pm. Then it rained approximately another 1 inch of rain as of 6 pm this evening. Red River is running bank to bank, causing water to back up in the creek. As a result of all the water, at this time, the creek is uncrossable in various places; however, we anticipate these waters to recede overnight.
As a result, the creek and the other trails are muddy at this time.
