    Then you probably have not visited Cooper Lodge. In my opinion that one hold the number one spot for worst LT shelter, though there are a couple others in the running. Cooley Glenn has heaved and twisted badly. The roof leaked so badly when we were there one hiker set up her tent in the shelter to stay dry. Overall the GMC does an admirable job keeping up the shelters.

    Yeah, that's what I thought, too. But then someone said the privy is nice with reading material. That's not the Secret Shelter I stayed at in NJ (I believe - mile 1,344). That privy is not in good shape at all; however the shelter itself was awesome. It even has heat and electricity for charging electronics, potable water and a shower across the field from the shelter. The owner is an great guy by the name of Jim Murray with whom I had a nice chat when I was there in May 2018.

    I just realized I got sucked into a thread that was started more than 10 years ago. Oh well. Sorry I missed the Vermont Secret Shelter last year.
