Unfortunately, the vending machine is currently out of service. I was there today and wanted something to drink, but unfortunately, it didn't turn up. The rest is great.

You never know when a roof over your head will be needed. Whether you're traveling in the rain or sunshine, a shelter will help you take a short break. Anything better than standing under a tree and “balancing” in your rain gear. Helpful.
