We day rode there two sundays ago, on a tune up ride for Big South Fork. The campground is under going major renovation, new office building?, fun stuff like a mine shaft, hangman platform with a horse thief, and new fake front western town. All adds personality. The forest service is re-working the trail system. Everything that I saw was all for the better, Made the trails go past more scenic routes and follow the terrain better. Good luck on the new venture. Your purchase may have timed well with what the forest service is doing with the trails.
