Please post share it, if convenient! We'll hope to see legendary Ranger Bogachiel Beth's face in the window! (She's often camped at Flapjack since the RS was lost.) That would have been about Beth's first year, I think?

As of last summer, Wilder had only two walls partially standing. Duck mentioned that it was "on his list" but was unsure whether enough (any?) of the original members were sound enough to make restoration possible.
In September, Bear Camp looked tired but the front roof was straight. So the porch roof pole must have been replaced sometime after these photos, taken by Don Abbott in 1996 and 2004.
Edit: Here's a link to a 2007 photo showing the roof fixed.

Cool shelter pictures Rod, thanks for posting them.
Is this the same Don Abbott that used to write trip reports in the "Pack and Paddle Magazine"?

I wonder how much longer the EV shelter will last...the river had gained quite a bit of ground last time I visited.

Great pictures everyone.  Makes me wish I had carried a camera all those years. Most I've seen but a few were gone by the time I arrived. For instance, all that was left of Sundown Lk shelter was the footings. It's great to see a picture of what it used to look like. Thanks!
Keep em coming.
