I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize that Marshmallow Marsh had been shut down. Guess it's been a while since I made it out there... what happened? That's a real shame. There's a great <a href="http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2267022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thread</a> on DisBoards discussing this, and because they're FW experts there are a lot of nice details. I had noticed "Fleetwood Pass" on the map (Fleetwood was a big sponsor for FW), and that's now Peacock Pass. Also, "Terry Trail" was named after one of Fleetwood's line of travel trailers.

There’s a great thread on DisBoards discussing this, and because they’re FW experts there are a lot of nice details.

It also doesn't show the current location of the trail rides' stable and the Backyard BBQ pavilion. Among other things, the map also includes Marshmallow Marsh which has been shuttered for years now.
