lantern or other light. Cost of transportation (from Knoxville, for members and local visitors) approximately $2.10 each. Transportation furnished, without charge, for Appalachian Trail visitors. Round trip hiking distance 13 miles. Trail steep and extremely rough. Elevation 6,- 593 feet. Leaders: CHAS. I. BARBER (3-6189) and CARLOS C. CAMPBELL (6-1428). June 14 INDIAN GAP AND THE ROAD PRONG TRAIL The visitor to Indian Gap and the pilgrim of the Road Prong Trail catches few glimpses of the Smokies' imposing structure, for he follows a ravine that rarely opens out for panoramic effects. However, superb views may be had if he reaches the Gap via Mingus. From Indian Gap, once known in the musical Cherokee as Ocona Lufty, down four unforgetable miles to Fort Harry Ford, there are found the greens which betoken life; the flashy emerald of the turf in the Gap, the dark and sober green of the firs, the mottled shades of the deciduous trees, the glossy green of the rhododendrons, the velvety green of the mosses. Never was there such life in a temperate zone. Even the barren rocks have on them Pallid lichens and tiny, fern-like mosses. Prostrate giants of the forest, having lost life, become its source and are speedily covered with shy mosses and flowers. The trail, hardly broad enough for two at its widest, was once an indifferent but usable wagon road. Its newness has been obliterated by decades of weathering; its breadth has shrunk before the unceasing encroachments of the undergrowth. For hundreds of feet, the rhododendrons grow in solid phalanxes on either side, often arching overhead to throw it into gloom. A stream of incredible beauty trickles, loiters, dashes,"leaps, sings, and roars down the entire length of the pathway, often intersecting it. Seeping first from humid earth and moist clefts high on slopes which have never known an axe. it gathers itself in ever-increasing volume to plunge in a joyous romp down its checkered course. Abounding in life, charged 35

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1931 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
