Howdy, anyone experience any trouble taking pit bulls along? Found a beautiful pit mix I would like to adopt...

Short answer: you will have some restrictions regarding campgrounds that will accept that breed.
The fog of real facts concerning this breed is so obscured due to stories, hype and misinformation. Studies have shown that bites by breed (accounting for breed prevalence)puts many breeds at a greater propensity for biting than pits.
Identification of breed is incorrect in many cases, pits getting way more incorrect identification than others.
When pits do bite, they can an do cause major damage.
A certain amount of behavior IS genetic, but by no means is that tendency hard wired into every member of that breed.
As one who has worked with dogs for over 35 years, I'd choose working on a pit rather than a chi (not a condemnation of that breed :)) just from my experiences.
