    "My wife and I stayed here on Earth Day this past April. The shelter is only a few years old and is a testament to the PATC's efforts in the area. Spacious, double bunk sleeping platform and roofed-over table. The brook running a few dozen yards in front of the shelter was clear and strong. Plenty of tent space. All around, an excellent place to overnight, if you can pass up the outrageously well maintained Quarry Gap shelter."
