Merry Christmas From Bulcher, Texas...
Your Holiday Weekend Snow Destination!
OPEN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26
First and foremost, after riding at the park today, we have decided that despite the wintry weather, RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...for sure tomorrow (Saturday) & tentatively Sunday. However, tomorrow, Saturday, December 26, we will have a delayed opening...as we will OPEN at 9:30 a.m. and NOT at our usual 8 a.m. This is necessary due to current conditions at the park. While it is highly likely that we will be open on Sunday as well, we may indeed have a delayed opening time as well....but news regarding Sunday will come sometime tomorrow.
Current snow conditions at the park are unbelievable. You actually have to see it to believe it. We will be sharing pictures from the park as well as pictures from the drive out on the roads to the park, as we realize that pictures are worth a 1,000 words. These pictures will help give you a feel for current park conditions as well as road conditions out to Bulcher.
If you ever dreamed of taking an off-road snow trip...there is no need to go to New Mexico, Colorado, or even Sibera :-) We have snow & lots of it for you to enjoy this weekend!
Some tips though based on what we observed today about current park conditions in order to prep you for this weekend:
* We have received 7-8 inches of snow...at the minimum. There are places were there are drifts that are much, much deeper. Use extreme caution and stay on all trails. If you get off the trails, you run the risk of sinking into deep drifts.
* A shovel will be your best friend this weekend, so bring one along.
* If you have a snowmobile, not kidding...we do welcome them this weekend only, due to snow conditions. We do not recommend dirtbikes this weekend. 4 wheel drive recreational vehicles...ATVs, Razors, Mules, etc. are suggested. If you don't have 4 wheel drive off-road recreational vehicle, you will have a hard time getting around. (But don't kid yourself...even 4 wheel drives get stuck!) As usual, no jeeps or dune buggies permitted.
* Today (Christmas Day) we didn't receive any further precipitation. All the snow that we have currently was received yesterday on Christmas Eve. No further precipation is anticiapted over the weekend. We have all trails open, as nothing is closed off, but by the nature of current conditions, some areas may not be accesssable. Use extreme caution & common sense. If it looks deep, do not drive thru it. Please note: RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow or pull you out!
* All ponds, creeks, and the Red River is frozen. Do not drive over large bodies of frozen water!
* We barely got above freezing today, so there wasn't a lot of melting. However, we can tell you that based on the amount of snowfall...when it does start to melt (if it happens to be this weekend), conditions will get slushy!
