Standing Bear Farm

Very fun and funky place 200 yds off the trail, deep in a hollow, cats and chickens and raucous roosters wandering through the bunkhouse. Reasonable prices on food, even got a banana to help restore all the electrolytes I sweated out to get here. And they sell beer, so easy decision to stop midday and stay.
And the last shelter I passed in the Smokies still had the chain link fencing in front of it, as all the shelters did in 1982. That was to keep bears and hogs out and the people in, but also made you think you were the animals in the zoo.
