Finally The Weekend...
Destination: Bulcher, Texas
As a recap from our last blog yesterday, NO rain yesterday, but overnight, it came a down pour, 1 & 1/2 inches of rain was received. We have not received any additional rain thus far today. This afternoon as of 12:40 p.m., we have a current temperature of 48 degrees. The jacket is a MUST today. With temperatures like this, you'd think Bulcher was located in Colorado:-) We will warm up a little today, but not much...only upper 50's expected for high temperatures today. NO sun today...cloudy and overcast. If you've checked out the weekend forecast for Bulcher yet, you better...it sure looks good. Nice weather & high temperatures in the 60's both tomorrow (Saturday) & Sunday.
There's no better time to ride & camp RED RIVER! Stop wasting your weekends riding other places...there really is no comparison...and besides, if you don't get your riding in this weekend, you'll have to wait a couple weeks to ride Bulcher again, as this is the LAST weekend to ride Bulcher before we CLOSE for ENDURO RACE PREPARATION (October 12-October 17) & THE ENDURO ON OCTOBER 18th!
Time to kick off the weekend with your usual Friday comprehensive report...

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN..on both the North & East sides of the park EXCEPT the Bill's Woods & New Property Areas. Per our other blog announcement, these areas are closed for upcoming ENDURO & TORO race preparation. Mountain Creek is at its normal level, except down toward the mouth of the Red River where we advise riders to use caution. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. With gloomy weather this week, coupled with cooler temperatures and rain, currently we have WET conditions. With NO sun and cool temperatures expected throughout the upcoming weekend, not sure how much drying out we'll be doing. On the bright side, there's NO dust! Reminder: Due to heavy rains back in April, just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water (from the April rains) has really changed a lot of our trail system, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.
RED RIVER
The Red River is up a little from its normal level. There still remains some lurking murky water being pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the river, so watch out for it...getting stuck is possible.
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 if not careful. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!
Don't be the only one without a RV Rental for this weekend...Remember that RRMT, Inc. now 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. Please note that in addition to these rental sites, as usual, RRMT, Inc. also offers free other campsites that are always available via first come-first serve for your convenience.
NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.
Start planning your weekend now 'cause...RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...tomorrow, Saturday October 10 & Sunday October 11 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend! Please note: RRMT, Inc. is currently observing fall/winter park hours.
Hope everyone enjoys their awesome "fall" weekend!
P.S. ENDURO WEEKEND - ALMOST 1 WEEK AWAY...
