Below: The Main Lodge contains the kitchen, dining hall and additional suites of bunks, toilets and showers. The suites face a courtyard. There are many large protected meadows for tent camping near the lodge and cabins.
Below: Several photos of the Area of Operations. Vehicles must cross Bear Creek using a ford with a concrete slab and rock fill at either end. Troops on foot may cross at the ford or use the suspension bridge 2 at a time. Both sides of the creek have a north/south road running above the creek banks. The creek lies in a valley with large islands that can support field operations. The eastern road can support limited vehicle traffic (there are a few turnarounds). The terrain is forested but not dense and has many natural defilades, rocks and trees suited for infantry cover. A spade scrape or two at most is all that would be needed to augment what nature has provided. The western road is very narrow, more prone to washout and has very dense forest.
