Good Evening...
Were you wondering when our blog would be back...we'll we're back now!
Well let's see...let's recap today...what we thought was going to be a nice sunny day...ended up being okay and decent. In early afternoon, our sunny skies gave way to cloudy/overcast skies. All the areas around us got rain showers or sprinkles of rain, but nothing to report for us in Bulcher. But for the most part it was a nice day...we just wish we would have seen the sun more. As of 9:15 p.m. tonight, we have a current temperature of 52 degrees...nice temperatures for camping out.
Currently there is a special weather statement for our area. See details below.

... THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY POSSIBLE WINTER WEATHER ON TUESDAY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS AND MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EAST OF INTERSTATE 35... WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING LARGE HAIL. PRECIPITATION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
AS THE SURFACE LOW EXITS THE REGION... A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY... DROPPING TEMPERATURES INTO THE 30S. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH ON TUESDAY AND WITH THE COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE... WINTER PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE DISTURBANCE... WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS FUTURE DATA AND UPDATE THE FORECAST AS MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
--- This weekend looks nice for trail riding. Tomorrow (Saturday) we anticipate highs in the mid 50's with cloudy conditions. Sunday is when the isolated thunderstorms are supposed to roll in...mid 50's are expected for highs on Sunday as well. So if we receive any rain, it will likely be on Sunday...so get out & have yourself a nice weekend...because after all this recent cold, snowy weather...we think everyone has cabin fever!
Here is your usual Friday comprehensive report on park trail/weather conditions to get you ready for this weekend!
*** Please note that these guidelines are just to serve as helpful tips on what to expect at the park. As always, RRMT, Inc. cannot guarantee park conditions. ***

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN....this includes all trails on both the North & East sides. Bill's Woods & the New Property are both open as well...ENJOY!
Mountain Creek is at its normal level, except down toward the mouth of the Red River where we advise riders to use caution. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. As always we would like to remind everyone that just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water (from the April 2009 rains) has really changed a lot of our trail system, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.
Other than one day, we really haven't had "warm" temperatures this week, and thus while trails can be considered somewhat dry, standing water puddles are to be expected in certain low lying/shaded trail areas as a result of our recent moisture (2/11's 8 inch snowfall). Dust will not be a problem!
Riders to RRMT, Inc. will now find that RRMT, Inc. has over 30 new point of interest signs installed out on the trails. These are a great new addition to the park & we are very proud of them! These signs will help you catch the iRide Bulcher, Texas fever as you continue to learn about the various unique parts of the RRMT, Inc. Facility!
** Please note that as of the winter riding season, our sign project has been put on hold. We will resume crafting and putting up the rest of these signs probably in the spring time frame, when all winter weather is completely over with!
RED RIVER
The Red River remains at its normal level. There still remains some lurking murky water/quicksand being pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the river, so watch out for it...getting stuck is always a possibility in certain areas in the creek.
CREEK
While riding in Mountain Creek is possible and crossing the creek is also possible...please use caution when in the creek, especially further down the creek toward the river. It is very possible to sink your recreational vehicle in the creek due to quicksand if not careful. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!
** We have booked several RV rentals for this weekend, but as of this evening, we still have a few left. You may also reserve one upon your arrival at the park this weekend!
WEEKEND RV RENTALS
Do you have your RV Rental for this weekend? RRMT, Inc. offers Member RV Site Rentals on a daily basis. Reservations are recommended if you desire a particular RV Site. Otherwise, all walk-up RV Site rentals are welcome as well.

We're all ready for spring & bet you are to. While it is not quite spring just yet...this weekend will be a nice change to the recent winter weather we have all endured lately. Get out & enjoy yourself...besides, this weather isn't supposed to last long....next week, it's more cold weather & yes, even snow....and next week, you will be kicking yourself on why you didn't get some riding in during the weekend!
