    "Reserved stay at shelter 3/3/07 but opted to use tents due to overcrowding of shelter. Nice campsite with fire pit about 25-30 yards away. Shelter is in good condition, seems to have been recently renovated with some rodent-proofing measures. Small stream immediately to the south of shelter. Privy nearby. Two pack lines.

    On night of 3/3 - VERY low flying multi-engine turboprop aircraft directly over shelter. Could not have been more than 200 feet above the site. Sounded like it was going to come down right on top of us. Scared the crap out everyone there."
