uh,, I think it has been mentioned more than once here on White Blaze that the Shelters are pretty much full during season..I would say it is rude..
It's the same token as when a guy drives a F-350, has a handicap parking sticker and decides that it is ok to park in ALL the handicap parking places, just because no one else is using them...
I guess I am one who is considerate to other people and hikers..I guess on my next hike I will just be the opposite, I am going to set up my tent at !:00 in the afternoon because it is too early for anyone else to hike in.. I am going to cook, clean, **** and do all my hygenical things IN the spring.. I am also going to leave all my CRAP sitting around for others to take out..When other hikers come in I am going to tell them I have reserved the shelter and they have to find another place to sleep, and I don't care if your ancle is spranged, your not going to fix it at MY reserved shelter..IT'S MINE!!!
Yep, Vern, thats just what I am going to do..
