    "Okay shelter. I did not stay, but enjoyed lunch here. Just up the trail, there is a new privy."

    "Nice Shelter, but like most of the shelters on this section, it is heavily used. For some reason the privy when I was at Wise (Jul, 2004) the privy had been torn down."

    "Open area. Looked nice but did not stay. Spring close but in dry weather might be suspect."
