The Asheville (NC) Citizen-Times has a brief article by Mark Barrett, Staff Writer published in their 23 March 2007 edition under the headline "Appalachain [sic] Trail way station closed".
Barrett reports the news that "Mountain Moma’s Kuntry Store and Hostel, a popular stop for long-distance Appalachian Trail hikers looking for a bit of civilization, has closed indefinitely, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy."
That leaves a stretch of more than 100 miles between Fontana Dam and Hot Springs without a near-Trail commercial business, according to the article. The ATC web site's "Trail Updates" page has details for hikers about retrieving packages already sent there. Don't send any more, though.
