This has been renamed the "John's Spring Shelter" According to the RATC website, a new trail 1/2 way to the privy goes to the right to a good water source. That must be a new water source also as the old one was on a trail that went to the left of the privy to a very small unreliable creek.

Looks like another shelter constructed with "mice proofing" in mind.

Good to see a roof on it. In August, I was finishing up a section Hike from Delaware Water Gap and on the last day into Four Pines hostel. I get caught in a hail Storm! I high-tail it to this shelter with just the deck built.
With gumball sized HAIL BOUNCING OFF MY BALD HEAD,I saw the well roofed privy and hung out. The place looks much nicer.

It does lok a lot nicer than what was there in 2000, but I do not understand why some clubs replace shelters that are so close to a road. Especially here with all of the traffic up and down McAffee Knob. Putting it south of the road would have been much better, less traffic through there, no water, but it would have still been a better choice.
