I was beginning to feel alone in my fondness for shelters. When shelter to shelter hiking is not what I am in the mood for, I hike other areas. Really could have used some shelters in Montana lol. I loved starting off o a sunny 80 degree day, and hiking into the snow. The next morning though, there is nothing that would have been nicer than 3 walls, a firepit, and a nice place to cook breakfast lol.
