Linda, 08/15/05User Rating:  "Small shelter, we were run out by wasps and bees. Looked like there had been a lot of trouble with snakes as well. Good water and tent spot. "
david, 06/18/04User Rating: "This was one of the worst shelters I've ever camped at, I didn't stay in the shelter due to the fact that rats are here was carved or painted on the wall of the shelter. I'm not sure of the exact warning. I pitched my tent. Funny there are lots of good spots to pitch a tent around that shelter."

D.T., 02/02/03User Rating: "Old shelter built by CCC. Copperheads in and around shelter due to high mouse population according to warning signs we saw the next morning (came in at dark). We did not see any snakes but the weather was cool. I would pitch a tent if going through in the summer months." Please feel free to add your own comments. Fill in your name, comments, and rate this shelter on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest.
