Weekend Agenda: Riding & Camping At Your Favorite Destination...Bulcher, Texas
NO additional rain at all since our last blog on Wednesday evening. We actually have been enjoying awesome temperatures and bright sunny skies the last couple of days. This morning as of 8:45 a.m., we have a current temperature of 76 degrees. The sun is already out as we are anticipating highs for today to be around 90 degrees. We have received NO rain thus far today. The weekend outlook looks great...after a couple weeks of riding/camping withdrawal...

TRAILS
As of late this week, all of our trails on both the North (Bill's Woods) & East (Pete's Gate) sides of the park are back open again. The reason is that thru the week, Mountain Creek has receded more allowing creek crossing to be possible if careful. For the most part, all of the trails have had time to dry out...However, you will find that occasional one with a puddle, especially in more shaded areas. Trail riding currently is actually pretty awesome...good packed soil & NO dust! However, due to the rains from last week: Just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water can really change the terrain of trails, so use extreme caution when riding even on trails that you were once familiar.
RED RIVER
With last week's substantial rainfall, the Red River still remains pretty high and bank to bank. NO sandbar & as you get further and further down Mountain Creek, you will see that the water level in Mountain Creek is even higher due to backed up water from the mouth of the river.
CREEK
While all of our trails are now back open & Mountain Creek can now be crossed (if careful)...We highly recommend that you be very selective of where you choose to cross Mountain Creek at. Only cross at low water levels and after looking the area over first prior to crossing. It is still very mucky in the creek so use caution if you choose to ride in the creek and especially if you choose to cross the creek to the East Side of the park. Crossing the creek is at your own risk. For those that attempt to get in the creek, be on the lookout for creeping amounts of quicksand throughout Mountain Creek as you can sink your recreational vehicle if not careful. This is especially true the further and further you get down Mountain Creek toward the mouth of the Red River. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!
NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.
RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend, Saturday May 9 & Sunday May 10 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend! Please note: RRMT, Inc. is now observing spring/summer park hours.
**Please note that the Member Restroom/Shower Complex will be OPEN this weekend.
However, this weekend only...this complex will be CLOSING early on Sunday May 10 at 6 p.m. The complex is closing early on this Sunday for cleaning as the new complex will be CLOSED Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12 for repair from the defacing that occurred back in March. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We anticipate the complex will be back open on Wednesday, May 13 but we will have to keep you posted because it will not re-open until all repairs have been made and all paint has completely dried. We look forward to getting this complex back to its original condition for members & their guests to enjoy. With that being said, we would like to re-emphasize that this facility is something that was paid for with MEMBERS' DUES...thus, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF IT! FURTHERMORE, MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR GUESTS WHILE THEY ARE ON ALL RRMT, INC. PROPERTY.
Cheers To A Great Weekend...
