One OBVIOUS suggestion would be to include a picture of a shelter in the shelter and miles list. I really don't care about the politics about whose pictures, but there needs to be at least ONE picture for each shelter. There are a lot of shelters that don't have photos here. It is an enourmous PITA to have to navigate all over this board to find pictures of shelters only to discover that there are no pictures in the post!
Its really bad design to have users hunt for information. No searches that ultimately end up as dead links, just a picture link. It would be a great community project. I cannot believe that there is no link to the Blood Mtn. shelter here!
It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words and extremely valuable in planning a hike.
Thanks and keep up the otherwise good work.
