You could almost forget that the water below was full of leaches, ready to latch on and suck the athletically thinned hiker blood.

Well, two of them ain't even on the AT...so, I'm not sure they count.  I 
think Roaring Fork S. has been moved...or, done away with. I LOVED that 
setting there, right on the spring and about 50' from the trail. Loved 
the view from the half-privy.   Muskrat Creek S. was the dingy A-frame 
that has been replaced. I like the new shelter. I had a snack there on 
1/1/99...a frigid day.  I'm not sure about that Killington shelter. Are 
you talking about the dank Governor Clement S.?
