This shelter is a fairly short walk downhill east of the AT. The water source is a few steps in front of the shelter, not too bad. What I most remember are bugs, vegetation, and humidity. A pretty lush area, but still some decent campsites just a ways to the north and downhill. The structure itself has 2 sets of platforms and small bunks, separated by a gravel area and a fireplace sort of thing. Sized to fit 6 or so.

I did a zero here spending two nights waiting on some hiking buddies. Loved the fire place, I had three branchless trees about 3-4 inches wide and 14 feet long feeding a fire nearly the entire time.

Plus, this is the 1st place I met the near legendary Baltimore Jack hiking into Trail Days with the most awesome Time to Fly- Had a few shots of Jim that day!
