TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy Friday!

NO rain yesterday or overnight. This afternoon as of noon, we have a current temperature of 38 degrees. Should come as no surprise...today is just another cloudy and gloomy day...very cold. Unfortunately, we aren't expecting much of a warm-up...high 30's to very low 40's at the max. Surprisingly enough, we have received NO further rain than what we received on Wednesday night. However, the forecast is calling for additional precipitation, but we'll just have to wait and see. With the weekend upon us...it will definitely be nice in the fact that there'll be no dust, but it will be on the cooler side for those venturing out to Bulcher this weekend...highs expected in the mid-50's for tomorrow, Saturday with Sunday being a little bit warmer day as mid-60's are expected.

RRMT, INC.'S RAIN GAUGE RECAP

*Monday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Tuesday-- NO RAIN
overnight—2 tenths of rain
* Wednesday--NO RAIN
overnight—1/2 inch of rain
* Thursday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of noon

Finally some much needed moisture this week...at last!

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility, including Bill's Woods & Pete's Gate. With the recent moisture, NO dust...enjoy! The recent moisture coupled with damp conditions, while our soil has been soaking it up, we haven't seen sun in the past couple of days, so it has been hard for the trails to completely dry out...thus, don't be surprised to see puddles in particular parts of the trails. Sounds strange to suggest that you could finally possibly get muddy!

RED RIVER
The Red River remains at a low level at this time despite the recent rain we have received. ** While you may ride in our creek area, be on the lookout for creeping amounts of quicksand towards the end of Mountain Creek as you can sink your recreational vehicle if not careful. ** Furthermore, please note that RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out! It is possible that you could see mud both in the creek as well as on some of the trails.

CREEK
Creek riding is not a problem as Mountain Creek is at a low level. 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.

It's been a long, rainy, gloomy week. While tomorrow & Sunday do look to be on the cooler side, we are not anticipating any precipitation over the weekend. The precipitation that is anticipated for our area should come in late this afternoon/evening and move on out prior to in the morning. So at least, we are not anticipating rainy conditions this weekend. So get out of the house this weekend & on some trails! It's been a long week...you deserve a break.

Please note that due to extremely dry conditions...a BURN BAN is in EFFECT for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc. NO OPEN pit campfires or OPEN outdoor grilling permitted.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend, tomorrow, Saturday March 14 and Sunday March 15 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!
