    "Simply put, this shelter's a beauty, with one of the most reliable water sources in the state."

    "Beautiful, new shelter beside a raging brook with a porch and nice bunks. Unfortunately, it's only an *easy* 5-mile stroll south of Rockfish Gap/Waynesboro."

    "This is a beauty of a shelter. Much nicer than any that you'll find inside the SNP. I especially like the privy's half door."

    "The best shelter I have ever seen. This shelter has everything a porch, window, john with a view, stream, and a swimming hole/mini. waterfall. This is an awsome shelter. Good luck!!"
