== Maintenance History ==
<!-- describe history of the shelter -->
*Oct 2018: Painted the front of the shelter to hide graffiti and cut off the bottom of the door so it would close better.
*Nov 2010:  Trimmed bottom of door to allow it to open freely.
*2007: Removed some rock underpinning and installed hardware cloth to improve ventilation, reworked some of foundation and patched roof.
*2003: Installed cedar shingles on front and rear eaves, added cooking table against outside front wall, built railing upstairs around ladder opening, and coated outside with clear stain.
*Oct 2003:  Patched the roof and fixing the porch overhang (jacking up and placing supporting rocks to avoid rot).  The shelter support was previously non-existing, thus this action kept it from settling down the mountainside.
*Dec 1996:  Floor repaired by TEHCC of installing new plywood sheets.
*July 1980:  Renovated to be an AT shelter by the Cherokee National Forest.
*1934:  Built by Forest Service.
