Only shelter (and privy) between Cheoah Bald and NOC. At the time of this picture, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, this privy rated a -4! It was rough.

    Is this shelter perhaps the worst one outside of Walnut Mtn. shelter, in NC?

    My first ever AT shelter experience took place here during a July section out of Wesser. Best I can say; it was dry and had a spring. As to gnarliest shelter, I have to say Cold Springs, hands down.

    The shelter's improved but the last time I was there, the privy remained a portal to hell.
