Lost Pond Shelter Burnt Down AGAIN!
Just got word that Lost Pond was recently burnt to the ground...AGAIN:mad: ...the second time in three years:confused: . "Shelter rats" should plan accordingly IOW, Peru Peak Shelter to the south 4.7 miles or Big Branch Shelter to the north 1.7 miles....MrsG :-?
I never see this solution mentioned for replacing shelters that arsonists target...
Why not rebuild them with stone? A stone shelter (there are many on the AT now, so there's no acceptability issue) is virtually fireproof. It would take heavy equipment or explosives for one major to seriously damage a stone shelter, which they're not likely to have on the AT.
