Anyone Been in the Wild River Wilderness Recently?

Leaving this weekend to do a 4 day trip, gonna follow a similar route to this, with a couple changes:

We're changing things in the second half, going over Shelburne Moriah instead of down Moriah Brook, up Basin trail from Wild River Campground, then down the Mount Meader trail instead of heading back up North Baldface.

Curious if anyone in here has been back that way recently? I figure with how remote the area is there really won't be any sort of trail maintenance until the road is reopened... so maybe never. I'm expecting a wild, remote trip and it looks like water levels should be reasonable, but if possible I'd like to get some recent beta from the area.

Thanks!
