TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy Friday Fellow Blog Readers…
Finally Another Weekend Upon Us!

Again, no surprise...NO rain overnight. Currently this morning as of 10:30 a.m., we have blue, cloudy, overcast skies and temperatures around 40 degrees. The sun hasn’t come out from out behind the clouds yet, but we’re expecting it to at least make an appearance sometime later day. We’re also expecting it to be warmer today than its been the past couple of days, but we’ll just have to see how warm it gets because thus far, we do have some wind today. We have had NO rain thus far today.

Here's your usual comprehensive Friday report on detailed park conditions....(you’re gonna notice that not much has changed since last Friday’s report because we haven’t had any big changes in the weather)

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN both on the North and East sides of the facility. Per our rain gauge report...we have received absolutely NO rain this week. For those of you keeping up with it, that now makes 3 full weeks without any precipitation whatsoever. As a result, we really could use the rain, as it is getting extremely dry up in our area. Riding conditions are currently pleasant due to the nice temperatures, but dust can definitely be expected. As a result of our dry conditions, we do not anticipate riders seeing any puddles or mud out on the actual trails.

RED RIVER
Again, not much has changed with the Red River since last Friday's recap...The Red River is bank to bank in some places, but then very narrow in other places, which has allowed the water to be split which has created various sandbars. The amount of water that the river has pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek (where it joins the Red River) has now pretty much receded, and at this time, really minimal and of no concern. However, it is still advised that you be careful to avoid any quicksand because getting stuck is always a possibility.

CREEK
The amount of water being pushed up into Mountain Creek is minimal at this time. It is advised that you be on the lookout for mud to avoid getting stuck, but really no problems there at the mouth of the creek are to be anticipated. Riders will find that they can ride in the creek the entire way to the river currently. Similarly, since riders can ride in the creek the entire way to the river, thus the creek is crossable in a number of areas so riders may easily access the trails on both the North and East sides of the facility.

In summary, despite our dry conditions for another week again, riding at our park is pretty good. The forecast for this weekend looks incredible...temperatures in the low 70’s for Saturday and Sunday both! So don’t fool yourself by spending another weekend at home in the house, you better get out to Bulcher to take advantage of the incredible weather that we’re expecting. Because it is Texas….after this weekend, you never know what the weather could do...so you don’t want to waste a weekend without getting some riding/camping in. See you this weekend.

Final update for the evening as of 5:35 p.m....we had sun today luckily! It did warm up a little finally this afternoon when the wind calmed. Overall, it was a nice day at the park today with NO rain. Time to start the weekend!

We will be OPEN this weekend both tomorrow, Saturday, January 5 and Sunday, January 6 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend. If you would like to arrive today, Friday, please call our park office to schedule an appointment.

Happy Trails,
