    "VERY NICE SHELTER. GREAT DECK. WATER SOURCE IS A BIT OF A SLOG DOWNHILL, THOUGH."

    "Very nice shelter with convenient loft for gear or one person. Love the deck bench. Wasn't crazy about the trek to the water - although the source was good. Recommend NB get water on the way out and head north at trail intersection near water, SB get water on way in if you can locate the turnoff about .4 m prior to shelter turnoff."
