Hello Weekend...We've waited all week long for you!
Well while the skies threatened rain yesterday, it never rained during the day, but waited until overnight. Overnight, we received half of an inch of rain. A nice amount to help settle the dust. As of this morning at 10:15 a.m., we have a current temperature of 68 degrees. We are already enjoying sunny skies this morning, as we all get excited about the upcoming weekend. Upper 70's are expected for highs today. The forecast shows that there is a 30% chance of additional rain/thunderstorms possible for later on today, but we'll just have to wait and see. Right now, we're not buying it...it is just too pretty outside. We have received NO rain thus far today.
The forecast for the weekend looks fabulous...NO rain anticipated over the weekend with sunny skies & awesome 70+ temperatures. Sounds perfect for a trail riding & camping weekend!
Without further hesitation, we're ready to kick off the weekend!

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.
There may a couple puddles (especially in low lying/shaded areas) from the little rain shower we received overnight, but don't expect much mud or puddles. NO dust! For the most part, it has been a nice sunny week and the weekend looks even better! A great weekend of trail riding & being outdoors lies ahead.
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.

* REMINDER *
For those visitors coming from the Dallas/Fort Worth area or any visitors who will be traveling thru the nearby town of Muenster this weekend to get to our park...please plan accordingly. This weekend is Muenster's annual Germanfest, thus there will be lots of traffic and a bike rally (going on Saturday starting at 11 a.m.) and a fun run (going on Sunday starting at noon). Thus, when coming thru downtown Muenster, expect delays from traffic, people, and Germanfest events.
RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...tomorrow, Saturday, April 24 & Sunday, April 25. We will have park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend in Bulcher!
See ya on the trails this weekend...
