    Default vermont shelter fees

    What is the typical "overnight" fee at shelters that have them in VT ? I've just stumbled upon this in my research for our upcoming thru, 2011.

    $5 at Stratton Pond, Griffith Lake, and Little Rock Pond

    according to ALDHA's online companion...

    In VT you pay $5 once, then all other pay sites on the AT in Vermont are no additional charge if used within a week.

    correct.
    with a dated reciept of payment at one of the sites ($5 per person/night), you may stay for free at any of the other two fee sites south of maine jct, within a week.

    fee sites are: (from s. to n.) stratton pond, griffith lake, little rock pond.

    these are the best sites to stay, so stay at one/two/all of them!
