WHAT DA YA THINK ABOUT THE NEW EXPLORE LAW!!
Well since you don't know anything about it here is a video.
Big Springs Campground has six dilapidated corrals. The Westside Ranger District is writing a grant to construct new corrals. We need letters from persons that have a registered RV and ride horses who would support this grant and the work that it will fund. The reason that we want you to have an RV is that this grant is funded by RV registrations.

The six corrals are shown from west to east below

Idaho is blessed with thousands of square miles of open public land. However, access to the back country is by a network of fragile trails. Just as our roads need constant repair so do back country trails. When trails become washed out or blocked by natural downfall and overgrowth, people stop using them. Under use of a trail is as bad as over use. Horse back riders, hikers, back packers, mountain bikers, and trail runners, all share the same trail. PRBCH would like to promote cooperation among these trail users through planning, volunteer service, public education, and negotiation with government agencies.
The Federal government owns 61.6% of Idaho, only exceeded a little bit by Utah 64.9%, and a lot by Alaska 84.9%. Idaho has the greatest percent of its land in national forests 38.2%. And, while only 2.58% of the lower continental United States is designated as wilderness, Idaho contains 4.8 million acres of wilderness, 3rd largest in the U.S..
