    That's the government I've come to know and love.

    it does look sharp as all get out though.
    The Privy was large and clean, but it's hardly "handicapped accessible". Unless you remove the roof and lower the wheelchair in by chopper.

    Well, sorry. I only know what I read about in the posts.
    You have to admit, though, it sounds about par for Federal Regulations.

    Unless you remove the roof and lower the wheelchair in by chopper.

    I'd pay good money to see that......

    When my daughter was young I used to take her on weekend backpack trips all the time. Since she has CP she can't hike on her own, but we alternated her walking while holding my hand to her riding atop my shoulders. Sometimes I even hauled along her folding walker for use at the day's campsite. It sure was nice when we camped at a place where she could get in and out of the privy unassisted.

    Wow, a cheap shot at the government. How constructive and needful - we're all the better off for it.

    This is a wonderful shelter, well maintained by the Green Mountain Club with extra care given by Marge and Bob Fish !!!

    I seem to recall a story that the workparty who built this shelter included Bob Peoples. That guy is everywhere on the AT !!!!

    Yes, a very nice shelter with a cooking area under the roof overhang and surrounded by a bench on 3 sides. Stayed alone there 2 nights ago. A mouse ran over my face once during the night and I frequently heard something pawing nearby - a porcupine?
