JOBE,
You should go back to T-6 and check it out as things have apparently changed there. You say you were last there in the 1990's and I just saw the place a few days ago, ............ things have changed since you last saw it.
That bridge over Deep Creek is a good thing and not a waste of money. Remember, Deep Creek is a protected trout stream. I don't think the USFS or authorities want vehicles crossing Deep Creek back and forth disturbing the environment there, .... so they constructed a bridge over Deep Creek in order to protect it. Take a drive back out there, and you'll see what I mean.
hings have changed there since you last saw it some years ago.
