TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Good Friday Afternoon...Ahhhh...At Last...A Little Closer To The Weekend!

NO rain overnight. Currently this afternoon as of 12:35 p.m., we have clear, sunny skies, and temperatures barely breaking 50 degrees. A little less windy today thankfully. We have received NO rain thus far today. Looks like we're on our way to the start of a very sunny weekend...so let's get started!

Here's your usual comprehensive Friday report on detailed park conditions...

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN both on the North and East sides of the facility. (Except Bill's Woods & the New Property still remain closed at this time.)Very dry and windy this week...we are in much need for moisture. Because we are very dry, dust is to be expected. Furthermore, as a result of our dry conditions, we do not anticipate riders seeing any puddles or mud out on the actual trails.

RED RIVER
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 (since we've been so dry). But even due to our dry conditions, always be on the lookout for that occasional unexpected area of quicksand that lurks in the creek...you need always be careful to avoid any quicksand because getting stuck is always a possibility even when you least expect it.

CREEK
The amount of water being pushed up into Mountain Creek is extremely minimal at this time. 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, it's been a cold and windy week...with a good weekend forecast on the horizon (sunny and 60 degree temperatures), we all could use some R & R! Whether you've been riding RED RIVER for years, or whether this weekend is your first time out to Bulcher, one thing's for sure, an ADVENTURE always awaits you at RRMT, Inc.! HOPE TO SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!

P.S. Due to extremely dry and windy conditions, please remember that a burn ban still remains in effect for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc. Thus, while camping is permitted, RRMT, Inc. is strictly enforcing the burn ban & thus NO OUTDOOR FIRES are permitted under any circumstances!

Final update for the evening as of 6 p.m...sunny, but cool today. NO rain.

We will be OPEN this weekend both tomorrow, Saturday, February 2 and Sunday, February 3 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!

Happy Trails,
