This shelter is located 1.1 miles from the LT at Mile 10.8 in Division 4. The Old Job Trail was once the LT that followed a wood road for a great distance and was very wet. The road was determined to be unsuitable for the LT and was relocated to the west, diminishing Old Job Shelter’s usage about the year 1964. It is a framed lean-to with floor space for 8 and was built by the USFS in 1963. The Big Branch furnishes water. The outhouse is up the hill behind the shelter [GB 24th Edition 1996]
