Default West Fork Fish and Wildlife Check Station

I've had my crawler for about a month now and love it! I have a killer spot here at home as I live in an original Forest Ranger station. It was the original Sunburst ranger station and West Fork Fish and Wildlife Check Station. The buildings where set to be torn down,when the On duty ranger approached the government and offered 1$ to buy and move the house, barn, and check station to his property 3 miles down the river..
Any way I've been setting up some rope bridges along with some natural features too.
I need some ideas for new portions of my course, as I want to have a gathering of crawlers soon. My newest idea is a draw bridge to span across this spot to the rock island. It will be the coolest!
Why do y'all think, do I have a chance? Y'all got any ideas?

I have been here a bunch of times and its a scalers playground . There are multiple natural crawling locations... plus some man made as well!

Looks real nice. How far is it from the bank to the island?

It's roughly 30 ft or so. I will use bamboo to get the span. Gotta do a draw bridge to raise it for when the river gets out o control!

I have an old pulley block from a barn. It will be pretty simple, rope and pulley deal with a tie off cleat!

You should think about making a course with landscape flags for gates and trail markers

About how far apart should the gates be placed? I got a ton of flags!
