    Bare floors and lofts - let everyone sleep on the floors - it's easier for the mice to count noses that way!

    actually neither, if I can tent usually do that
    I hiked that ridge Pop told me not to that morning.
    Each time out, I see that same ridge- only different.

    I rarely sleep in shelters any more unless the person I'm hiking with refuses to tent, tarp, or hammock.
    I used to prefer bunks, for the illusion that they'd keep you away from the crawling critters. That isn't the case. Skunks may not be able to get up into a bunk, but just about anything else you'd want to avoid can.
    As I live, declares the Lord God, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn back from his way and live. Ezekiel 33:11

    none of the above. I'm a light sleeper. Snoring and farting and night peeing are inevitable in shelters (even by me, but then it's alright<G>) and intrinsically evil.

    I hang in the trees in my hammock.

    mountaineer shelter was built recently. lots of room, covered eating/cooking area, benches, great close water supply, 3 levels, right off the trail & only about 15 miles south of kincora. one of my favorites

    Quarry Gap just North o Caledonia State Park is also one of the "Cadillac" Shelters on the trail (IMO)

    It would take an act of God to get me to sleep in a shelter again. I've only slept 3 times in a shelter and that's enough for this lifetime.
