What you see in the picture is a typical AT Shelter. They are scattered along the trail every 5 Or so miles. Today, I hiked 11 miles (10 on the trail and 0.5 to and from a spring), and i am exhausted! The terrain was extremely rocky and there were a few toug h climbs. On a lighter note, i almost fell flat on my back after two turkeys shot out of some bushes next to the trail! I thought i was done for with the amount of noise they made! Thankfully, i survived.
