TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Good Friday Afternoon...

First and foremost, a thank you to everyone that voted in our 1st blog poll that wrapped up this morning at 9 a.m. We have posted another question out there now. The voting for this poll just started and will go thru next Friday, March 5th at 9 a.m. So get your votes in!



To catch you up to speed on the weather here on the home front in Bulcher...overnight, we had on and off mist. This afternoon as of 3 p.m., we have a current temperature of 39 degrees. Today's weather has been nothing to brag about...COLD and cloudy as it has been a dreary day with on and off mist all day long. We haven't had any measurable precipitation to report, just enough to make it a wet and gloomy day. Luckily the weekend forecast looks somewhat promising...but then again, it wouldn't take much to be a lot better than today...For tomorrow (Saturday), the forecast is calling for sunny conditions in the mid 50's. Then on Sunday, the forecast is predicting a mostly cloudy day but in the mid 50's as well. The rain that was once originally supposed to come in on Sunday has now been postponed until Monday and now the forecast is saying a 70% chance of rain/snow on Monday. So if you ever wanted to get some riding in...better get it in this weekend!

Without further hesitation, let's get this weekend started!

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.

While dust will not be a problem...conditions currently at the park can be described as WET. Expect muddy trails and standing puddles in various low lying/shaded trails due to the recent rain mist overnight and thus far today.

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!

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. Please note that in addition to these rental sites, as usual, RRMT, Inc. also offers free other campsites that are always available via first come-first serve for your convenience.

** We still have several RV Rentals available for this weekend for those interested.
