Just an update... Was there a while back and they had just re-stained it, the maintainers were there working on it at the time. Nice shelter with a number of nice tent sites around it.

Great place with great tent sites, was there umm 2 nights ago... Best shelter on the AT for me so far.

Hi,

I've been reading alot of stuff about the Whites and the AMC and it seems like a very heated topic so its hard for me to build a picture of what issues will actually affect me in that area. ...
