BMECC is moving on to shelter #2! :banana
On Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11, we will start replacing the roof on the Eagle's Nest Shelter, between Rts. 183 and 61 in Pa. This time, the new shingles will be going in (and the old ones going out) via wheelbarrow on the old construction-trail. The shelter, the toilet, and the compost storage-platform roofs will all have to be replaced, so if we don't finish during the first weekend, we'll be going back on the weekend of July 17-18.
This massive-log shelter was flown (75% complete) in to the site under a CH-54 military helicopter and finished on-site in 1988, and featured the first batch-composting toilet on the trail in Pa. So, if you'd like to help re-furbish a piece of trail history, plan to meet us at the SHARTLESVILLE Game Lands parking lot around 8:20 on Saturday morning...or hike in to the shelter on Friday night and spend the night there, and we'll join you in the morning!
