Re: CT: Pine Swamp Brook Lean-to, Inside
I stayed here a few years ago, come in after dark and missed the shelter and continued on down the trail for approx. a mile before I realized that I had missed the shelter, turn around come back up the trail and found it about thirty foot off the trail. I see that the porcupines are still eating the floor out, it should last for another ten years.
