While planning my section hike, I noticed Whitley Gap shelter, which is 1.2 miles off the trail and the spring is 0.3 mi beyond the shelter.
I remember seeing the sign for that shelter, last year, but had no desire to go see it. I believe this is the shelter that I heard of a bear taking up residence.
Anyone know if this is that shelter and if the bear is still a resident? I can’t say I blame him, I imagine not many hikers stop at this shelter.
