It's Friday....Happy Weekend & Happy Fall!
Overnight we can report that we received NO rain. Currently this morning as of 10:45 a.m., we have sunny clear skies, nice temperatures, and NO rain thus far today. We're off to a good start for the upcoming weekend.
RRMT, INC.'S RAIN GAUGE RECAP
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
overnight-- 1 Tenth of Rain
* Tuesday--Brief Rain Shower, But Not Enough To Measure
overnight--1 Tenth of Rain
* Wednesday--NO RAIN
overnight--NO RAIN
* Thursday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of 10:45 a.m.
As you can see from the rain report above, we did receive a little rain early in the week, which helped settle the dust then, but that rain is long gone by now. So unless we receive some more rain before the weekend, we are experiencing relatively dry conditions at the park.
Here's your usual comprehensive Friday report on detailed park conditions....
TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN both on the North and East sides of the facility. Per our rain gauge recap above, conditions are DRY at the park...we do not anticipate riders seeing any puddles or mud out on the actual trails. Dust is to be anticipated.
RED RIVER
It's another week and the Red River is still bank to bank, but yet still receding. Because the river continues to recede, the amount of water that the river has pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek (where it joins the Red River) continues to get smaller and smaller as each week passes. With each passing week, more and more sandbars appear to be out in the river. Enjoy the picture below taken from Rock Bluff looking out across the river.
CREEK
As stated, the amount of water that is being backed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the Red River is getting smaller and smaller with each passing day. Each week, more and more riders are now able to ride in the creek all the way to the river by getting up on a small strip of land on the side of the bank of the creek. However, we still must emphasize that there is WATER, MUD, and QUICKSAND in the creek and getting stuck is still very much a possibility...so please use caution when riding in the furtherest part of Mountain Creek down towards the Red River. Nevertheless, for sure, people will discover that they can ride the majority of the way there in the creek, but once they get down closer to the river, they will have to get out of the creek upon dry land and go the rest of the way if they are desiring to get to the river. Because the creek is very much rideable in the majority of it, thus the creek is crossable in a number of areas so riders may easily access the trails on both the North and East sides of the facility.
In summary, current conditions at the park are very enjoyable...the weather is nice and we are anticipating another beautiful weekend. We hope you can make it out to Bulcher this weekend to enjoy some of the BEST TRAILS IN TEXAS! See you this weekend!
Here's your final update for the day as of 4 p.m...those at the park today enjoyed GREAT weather & NO rain.
We will be OPEN this weekend both tomorrow, Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please note that this is our last weekend for the park to observe spring/summer hours. Starting October 1, the park will begin observing fall/winter hours which are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Happy Trails,
