Garvey Shelter is out of commission
Just got the word from the trail overseer for that section, quoted below.
"Garvey Shelter is out of commission. Has a dangerous hole in the floor where hiker started a campfire inside the shelter. Made a fire ring of rocks on the wood floor and tended it long enough to burn through some 4" limbs before it fell into the foundation."
Hopefully the shelter crew will get it back up before the spring rush. A similar thing happened at Gathland shelter a few years ago.
