    I'm sure I am, but the name doesn't ring a bell. If you like the dude then he must be allright.

    When I leave, LNT.
    I will do it when I get there as well if needed.

    Even if there is no broom, I find a way to improvise.

    I don't even sweep up at home, that's what I got married for.

    Don't tell my wife I said that or she'll find a new place to store the broom.

    We came across quite a few shelters that didn't have brooms...should have written down which ones... it's lovely to be the last one leaving the shelter and giving them a good sweep...leaves it nice for the next nights guests.

    If a sweep is needed, I sweep, but when you are looking at dirt under your feet all day, it has to be pretty obvious before I get out the broom.

    My brother and I met another section hiker 2 years ago who came into the shelter after we laid out our bags and swept up a small dust storm that left us coughing and our bags a little dirty. I think we said something like, "that was helpful". It did not look like it needed sweeping, but there was enough dust to prove otherwise. Lesson learned: When you are first in the shelter, hide the broom!

    There were 2 guys who, I think, died from contracting a Hanta virus. It is thought that they got it from dust from mouse doots while sweeping out their shelter.

    Good reason not to sleep in shelters.

    Sweep and then let the dust fall. Don't sweep and start doing deep breathing exercises in the shelter.
