TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy Weekend!



Well to answer the most popular question of the day & one that we have received a lot today...NO rain last night or thus far today...repeat, NO rain at all! I know that is hard to believe for lots of people since apparently it rained everywhere else, but in Bulcher. But believe it!

As of 4:30 p.m...we have enjoyed sunny (and at times, partly cloudy skies) conditions with temperatures in the mid to upper 70's today.

Next popular question of the day...are we expecting rain this weekend? The forecast for our area is predicting possible thunderstorms this evening/night and tomorrow. As of now...70% chance of rain expected. Now whether that will actually happen...who knows. We will just have to wait and see. Even if it does rain, our park conditions will be okay (unless it comes a flood) because we are very dry here. In fact, we have dusty conditions currently. So a good rain would help settle the dust. We are expecting somewhat cooler temperatures for the weekend (Saturday & Sunday)...low to mid 60's.

Here's to a great weekend...For those venturing out to Bulcher, here's what you can expect this weekend.

* NO rain this week...it's been a dry & dusty week!

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 due to some murky water from the Red River being 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.

Since we have not received any rain this week, NO mud or puddles should be anticipated on trails. In fact, it is dusty. If we do end up getting a shower this evening or tomorrow, there could possibly be some mud/standing puddles on trails, but for the most part, if any moisture falls, it will likely be absorbed very quickly by our very dry, sandy soil.

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 is currently at its normal low level. There is some minimal 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.
