    Stockholm, Sweden

    I was vacationing in Scandinavia and visited Stockholm for a few days. My wife was with me so no hiking on this trip! Anyway, we were touring Skansen, a massive open air museum in Stockholm depicting Scandinavian life for the last several centuries; sort of a amalgamation of Colonial Williamsburg, Sturbridge Village, Shelburne Museum etc.

    I came upon this structure and was immediately struck by how similar it was to many AT shelters, at least some of the old-style ones. Surprisingly, there were no labels or signs by it but I believe it represented a shelter where hunters and/or woodsmen would stay. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone on WhiteBlaze would recognize it.

    And I'm ready to return to Scandinavia after finishing the AT, this time for some hiking!

    Yeah, cookerbooger,was a laugh out loud, I needed that. Thing's do not have be about the A.T. though, but you should at least let us know before hand, so can choose whether or not to ignore it.
