TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!
We're getting our Friday report out early this morning as many of you are probably kicking off your Memorial Day Weekend plans as early as this morning.

NO rain yesterday or overnight. Currently this morning as of 9:20 a.m., we have cloudy, overcast skies and on the drive in this morning, the skies are hazy particularly on the road between Muenster and Bulcher. It actually looks as though we might receive some rain, but until it falls from the sky, we're not betting on it. We have a current temperature in Bulcher of 78 degrees and it feels pretty humid outside at the moment. We have received NO rain thus far today. We are expecting a high of about 90 degrees later this afternoon. Without further hesitation, we're ready to kick off this weekend as well....

RRMT, INC.'S RAIN GAUGE RECAP

* Wednesday--NO RAIN

* Thursday-- NO RAIN

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

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility. (Except Bill's Woods & the New Property still remain closed at this time.) Due to NO rain this week, our trails are very dry. Dust is most definitely to be anticipated.

RED RIVER
The Red River still remains bank to bank. As a result, be on the lookout for water that has been pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek where it meets the Red River. Particularly in the creek, you must be on the lookout for unexpected areas of quicksand that lurks in the creek...you need always be careful to avoid any quicksand because getting stuck is always a possibility!

CREEK
Riders will find that they can ride in the majority of the creek with no problems, but be especially careful when riding in the creek down towards the mouth of the river...quicksand lurks and getting stuck is a possibility and NO fun. But since riders can ride in the majority of the creek, 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.

Finally Memorial Day Weekend...what some may call the official start of summer. So get outdoors & enjoy some of the finest riding in Texas....RIDE RED RIVER! See you in Bulcher this weekend.

In observance of the Memorial Day Holiday, we will be OPEN tomorrow Saturday May 24, Sunday May 25, and Monday May 26 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!

Wishing you a safe & delightful holiday!
Happy Trails,
