TRAILS/WEATHER CONDITIONS

It's Another Friday...again, time to start thinking about your weekend plans if you haven't already.

First and foremost, we can report that overnight we received NO rain. This morning as of 9:10 a.m., we already have clear, sunny skies, and NO rain thus far today. Again, we will probably have warm temperatures this afternoon, but other than that, looks like we are in for a great day for riding.

Just as a recap, leading up to today, here are this week's rainfall totals that we pulled off each of our daily blogs from the week:

* Monday--NO RAIN
late evening/overnight-- 4 tenths total
* Tuesday--2 tenths total
overnight--NO RAIN
* Wednesday--4 tenths total
overnight--NO RAIN
* Thursday--NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of 9:10 a.m.

Next, we wanted to tell everyone that we are happy to report that we will be riding the park later today and taking pictures for the blog, so keep a watch out for them...we'll have them posted later this evening.

As for the creek & river update...the Red River is still flowing bank to bank...but still receding and as a result, the water that was backed up in the mouth of the creek (where it meets the river) has really receded. At this time, you are able to ride a long way down the creek. But in the creek as you get closer to the mouth of the Red River, it gets muddier so we advise riders to stay out of these areas because of QUICKSAND concerns. The creek would be the only place really where mud would be a concern. But again, the main parts of the creek can definitely be ridden in...and yes, the creek definitely can be crossed to access ALL our trails…on both the North and East sides of the property.

So with all that reported...we really feel that we are in for a great weekend of riding...should be nice weather & great conditions out on the trails. For those of you looking for a place to ride this weekend...head out to Bulcher...we will be open both tomorrow (Saturday, August 4) and Sunday, August 5 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

We'll keep you posted & with your evening update, we'll have pictures for you in order for you to finalize your weekend plans.

As of 11:30 p.m....you are just now getting your evening update...we do apologize, but it was an extremely long day at the park office today...today, we had really great weather…it was warm, but not bad at all...NO rain today...and it was dusty. We anticipate it to be dusty this weekend as well unless we get a little rain shower (which we do not anticipate) to settle the dust. But overall, the weather should be absolutely PERFECT for trail riding this weekend...hope BULCHER is your DESTINATION this weekend.

Happy Trails,
