At last...it's finally the Friday of Spring Break for many of you...
NO rain yesterday or overnight. This afternoon as of 2:30 p.m., we have a current temperature of 62 degrees. Despite the nice sunny skies, it feels a lot cooler though due to the severe windy conditions we are experiencing. Please note that our area is under a wind advisory and the winds are gusting very fiercely. The wind advisory is only supposed to be in effect until around 5 p.m. this evening. We are only expecting low 60's for highs today...so we don't expect to get much warmer today. We have received NO rain thus far today.
The weekend forecast for here in the Red River Valley looks absolutely fabulous. If you haven't made your weekend plans yet...don't wait any longer. Some weekend trail riding in Bulcher is the perfect remedy for a long stressful work week in the city.
Without further hesitation, we're starting the weekend...hope you'll come see us & join us!

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN....this includes all trails on both the North & East sides. Bill's Woods & Madagascar (aka..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 because a lot of water from the Red River is currently backed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek. 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. With all the moisture this winter (snow & rain)...a lot of our trail system has been changed, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.
While there won't be any dust...you can expect trails to be mostly dry. However, in certain areas particularly low lying and shaded areas...puddles are to be expected. For those of you that are familiar with Rocky Road...we can give you a heads up in advance...it looks like a swamp. But as most of you know...puddles always stand on Rocky Road...so that seems like it is a given any time it rains. But even our four-wheeler made it down Rocky Road...but not without splashing some mud and water on us first. The only place people should anticipate mud on trails is these few areas that have puddles. The only other mud will be found in the creek, so don't worry.
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
Due to all the recent moisture, the Red River is currently bank to bank. There is actually a lot of 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/water 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.
* As of today, we only have a couple of RV rentals for this weekend remaining.
