I stayed at the Griffin Rapids lean-to last week with my wife. A big party came through and started to land before they saw me standing on the bank. One of the canoes (a beat-to-death aluminum behemoth) was filled to over-capacity (probably with beer) and was listing to the side, almost to the gunwales. This group was obviously there to make noise and party.
They asked how many were staying there and made a lot of comments that suggested that they had a right to stay there but I was able to convince them that there was likely an empty shelter at the Buck's Pond outlet.
BTW, Kerry, a wonderful and somewhat touching trip report. You slogged on through a lot of hardship. You obviously needed the healing of the trail, but you showed a lot of courage to continue. I have to wonder what I'd have done with an injury like that.
