NEWS AND COMMENTARY
Could this be an emergency shelter? Also known as a "Lean to"?
If so, here's a map including all the lean to's An Excellent Map with Long and Lat and Lean tos
What is a Lean to:
Lean-tos
A night of sleep in the wilderness, sheltered from the elements in a log lean-to, is part of an Adirondack tradition dating back to simpler times. Though they have been around for hundreds of years, they have not outlived their usefulness. If you have ever spent a day hiking over peaks in the North Country, you may know the comforting sight of a lean-to as you round the last bend at the end of a long expedition.Source:http://www.thruthewoods.com/
Maybe it's Not. But There is mention of Cobolt Blue and Yellow in the picture WIVB has and there is a Blue Trail, there is a lean to. I have no idea what the yellow represents. (could the intersection of orange and blue trails) Could the orange paint faded and seem yellow?
