    Not sure when this was taken, but I know that this shelter had lost its roof as of the end of 2010. In addition, there were big holes in and between the boards of the sleeping surface when I went through in late 2009.

    I stayed there on May 17, 2011 and yes there is a new roof, but the holes in the sleeping platform were not fixed. It made for a tight fit when 6 people squeezed in to avoid a cold driving rain...I kept getting pushed towards the hole. It's not bad when there are fewer people and everyone can spread out to avoid the big hole in the middle.
