Thank Goodness It's Friday!
NO rain yesterday, overnight, or thus far today. With partly sunny skies, the current temperature in Bulcher is 91 degrees. The forecast is saying mid 90's for highs today. It feels a little bit cooler due to the fact that there's some cloud cover and the sun can't decide if it wants to shine or stay behind the clouds. The forecast for this weekend looks really nice, so if you want to get out of the house...GO RIDE!
Cheers to a great weekend & let's get it started! Here's what you can expect for conditions here in Bulcher...

TRAILS
All of our trails are currently OPEN except Bill's Woods & Madagascar. These two areas are closed for the summer riding season. These two areas will open back up sometime in the fall as we get ready for fall riding season in Bulcher.
Mountain Creek is still backed up some particularly down toward the mouth of the Red River. And It is down toward the mouth of the Red River where we advise riders to use caution due to this backed up murky water. However, Mountain Creek can be crossed at this time. Just be sure to cross it in low water areas rather than down toward the mouth of the Red River where this backed up water lurks. As always we would like to remind everyone that just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. We advise everyone to use caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.
* The brief rain shower last Sunday evening was just enough to help settle the dust for a while; however, that moisture is long gone by now. While there may a few lingering puddles in low lying or shaded areas on trails, these puddles will be few and far between. Riders this weekend should anticipate dry trails & dust. The only place riders can expect to get wet or muddy is in the creek.
RED RIVER
The Red River still remains at a higher level than normal. Much like previously described, there is 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 a big possibility in the creek down toward the mouth of the river.
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/water if not careful. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!
