    Wiley is actually South of the AT station (just 1.2 miles from the CT/NY line per the 2006 databook, while the station is at 7.1) but it is close to the road (such that you can look downhill and see the road - listed at 0.2 mi from road, may be even less). We were there (group of 4) a couple years ago on a Friday night in April and no one else was there, but I can see why it would be a popular place with the easy access.

    The shelter closest North of the station is Telephone Pioneers (10.2) and that one was 0.7 mi past the road, all of it quite uphill, so probably less likely to be a party area? Also - if there is rain, think about this one - what was an easy rock crossing over a little stream into the shelter in the afternoon would have been difficult to exit in the middle of the night (should that have been needed) after a downpour. It still sounded like a waterfall the next morning .
    Billy, you are confusing the 2 shelters. Telephone Pioneers is north of Nuclear Lake, then East rock view, then the dover oak, the swamp river and board-walk, Train Station & Rt.22, Pawling. After the Water tower and fields you cross Hamersley Mountain, on the north east slope you will come to Wiley Shelter, 200 yards from Duell Hollow Road, 1 more mile and you are in the Nutmeg State.

    Exactly how big is your hand, Lou?
