Happy Thanksgiving...
Finally it's Turkey Day!
NO rain yesterday or overnight. This morning as of 7 a.m., we have a current temperature of 36 degrees. While it's chilly right now (we're up early...getting a jump start on this holiday), we are anticipating sunny skies today with temperatures in the low 60's. It's going to be a gorgeous day! We have received NO rain thus far today.
Tomorrow is Black Friday (as many retailers will call it)...the way we look at it is yes, you can get up at 4 a.m. and stand in some very long lines and fight crowds of people to get a few good deals....OR...you could get a good night's sleep without having to wake up at the crack of dawn and come out to Bulcher for a better deal....great weather & great riding tomorrow, Friday. Come on...is there really any debate here?
As far as we are concerned, it's time to kick off the weekend...
Here is your usual comprehensive report coming to you on this Thankful Thursday!

overnight—NO RAIN
* Friday (TODAY)-- NO RAIN as of 7 a.m.
With no rain again this week...we are experiencing very dry conditions here in the Red River Valley...it's been several weeks without any moisture!
TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN....this includes all trails on both the North & East sides. Bill's Woods & 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. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. Due to the cooler temperatures we have been experiencing, don't be surprised if there are still some (but very few) lingering puddles in low lying/shaded areas on some of the trails. Furthermore, expect dust due to the fact that we haven't received any measurable rainfall in weeks. Reminder: 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.
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, riders to the park 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!
RED RIVER
The Red River remains at its normal low level. There still remains some lurking murky water/quicksand 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!
WEEKEND OUTLOOK
If you are forced to eat turkey and sit around the house & watch football today...then at least make your plans to get out of the house tomorrow & this weekend. If not, you'll be missing out on some great trail riding.
Please note that while RRMT, Inc. offers Member RV Site Rentals on a daily basis, all of our member RV sites are completely booked up for this weekend (Thanksgiving). We are still taking names on a wait list, in the case of a cancellation. However, 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. We also offer a limited # of other electricity spots...$10.00 per plug/per day...open to everyone... these sites are located in our old campground area. Please note...these other electricity sites are first come, first serve!
Registration is now open for current 2009 members to renew their memberships for 2010. You can mail your stuff in or bring it with you to the park office on your next visit. If you will be visiting during the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, upon check-in at the park office, we can provide you with renewal paperwork to complete if you need any help with finalizing needed park documentation.
NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.
RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN three days for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend...tomorrow, Friday, November 27, Saturday, November 28, & Sunday, November 29 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. all three days. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome Friday, Saturday, & Sunday!
