Trees Downed on the A.T. in the Smokies

Mark Barrett writes in the Asheville (NC) Citizen-Times of 21 April 2007 about the wind damage in the Smokies from the recent Nor'easter that blew up the east coast. The article is titled "Trees slow foot travel in Smokies."

According to a park spokesman:

"The area between Clingman’s Dome and Newfound Gap is the hardest hit, but significant damage is present along the trail northeast to Cosby Knob in the park’s northeastern end."

Nothing is closed, but travel will be slower than usual.
