Yes, so i'm relatively new here and had a few questions about the bungalows:

1. Bathrooms: Do they have tissue paper, or should I bring my own? Is hand sanitizer provided?

2. Electricity: How do we activate the power to the outlets in the bungalows? Are they equipped with refridgerators? If not, can we arrange for a bungalow with a fridge?

3. Telephones: Can we make long distance calls? Or should I bring a calling card?

4. How can I contact the managers in case of a problem? Is there a website or 1-800 #?

Thanks for your assistance fellow whiteblazers. :)

I believe this should have been an April Fools Day joke about shelters....

1. My bungalow is a seedhouse. Its actually pretty nice.
2. My bathroom is a old gatorade bottle.
3. The phone is my cell phone. If only I had better coverage:)
4. And for electricity I have a honda 1200 generator that has wheels on the bottom. Makes it easier to pull up the trail. I need to have brakes put on it though.
What u got?

You guys didn't know about the bungalows??? Jeez, how could you miss them, they're right next to the free beer and cheeseburger stands.

The bungalows are required to be no less than 100 feet, and no more than 300 feet, away from the escalators.

I've always wondered, what's the proper amount to tip a pack valet?

I'm a bit confused. Isn't a Bungelow when you reach the bottom and stop bouncing just before they cut you down.

By bungalows i mean the lodges that are found along the way. Don't you guys stay in them? If not, where do you stay?

This is no joke. I plan to hike, with my assistants, and need to know this information.

Thanking you again.

PS, will the shelter electric system be able to handle a hot plate and a hair dryer?

You need a generator. A big one. And lots of fuel.

Not sure about the TP but i believe Eckville Shelter has all of the above (as long as you have your own cell phone)

And no, i'm not giving you Lazee's personal telephone number.

Tent camping like on Brokeback Mountain, fudgepacking in the lying down position instead of standing! :eek:
