Will Flannery, 01/29/06User Rating:  "This is a great shelter. I have spent many nights there, being from North East Pennsylvania. This is a well taken care of shelter with a great view and a spiritual retreat center next door. Just keep an eye open for the mice, they are hungry little guys and will snatch your bagel and run off in the blink of an eye" Please feel free to add your own comments.
