1983 Mystery Shelter Log (somewhere in Connecticut)

Below are links to images of each page of a 1983 Shelter register obtained from a shelter somewhere near the southern border in Connecticut. The shelter may be the Red Mountain shelter or the Boulder Shelter. One entry refers to a nicer shelter just five minutes past. Someone named Nancy refers to catching up with "Redman", a SOBO, and perhaps going another half mile (to the next shelter?) The log begins with an entry by Thru-hiker Dave "Carrot Top" Garrott, who left the register at an unknown date, and ends on Aug 7, 1983. It appears as though the register is not complete, or not many hikers visited the shelter. The register contains many entries from a nearby youth camp, but also contains thru-hikers as well. To be legible, some of the images are large in terms of internet usage, and may be a problem for those using dialup connections. For others with faster connections, there will probably be no problem. The names listed below are spelled as correctly as could be decifered. If you find an error, please let me know. Question marks indicate an unknown signer - either undecipherable signature or none at all.
