<!-- describe general location info -->
Trail-south of Little Rock Knob, between [[Iron Mountain Gap to Carver's Gap|Hughes Gap and Iron Mountain Gap]]. The shelter is 120 yards (measured August 2014) from the AT on a blue-blazed side trail.

A spring is located 205 yards (measured August 2014) west of the shelter down a steep hill.  It consists of a buried drum for water collection which overflows from a 2" plastic pipe for easier filling of water bottles.

== Maintenance History ==
<!-- describe history of the shelter -->
*Oct 2016:  Painted the shelter outside. Significant sealing of roof on both inside and outside to hopefully eliminate couple of long term leaks. 
*2012: Caulked all roof screws.
*May 2009: Eagle project improved the spring water source.  [http://tehcc.org/pdf/newsletters/news200910.pdf TEHCC newsletter article]
*May 2002: Remodeled from floor up during Hard Core event.  Porch with eating area and upper level bunks were added.
*Nov 1993: Roof extended by 2 ft and sides added to reduce the probability of rain blowing into the shelter.
*1977: Built by U.S. Forest Service.
