so yesterday early biking through "that" part of town I passed several of "them". I was well dressed in my biking clothing, slightly cool as it was 28 degrees. The last fellow was lightly dressed, sleeping curled up on picnic table with his big stick. I thought umm if that was a dog I would go get it

My ride home I thought how strange this is the shelter issues. IF I took the summer off and hiked the AT or NCT I would hopefully make it to the shelters for cover. Wooded shelters with wood platform bunks. I wondered why if one is doing it for fun that is ok yet if no choice we do not offer these? The not in my back yard would be brought up and YES I would not want shelters in my back yard, but there are many places along my trail "they" sleep anyhow. Never too far from the city. Another note there is a big pavilion one in the city and one at church outside in township on trail. The one in the city usually has sleepers, church in township to far out.
