August 7th - 14 VACATION HIKE ALONG STATE LINE FROM EASTERN END OF PARK TO NEWFOUND GAP This trip takes us thru a primitive wilderness, the most of which has escaped molestation in the transforming march of civilization. Two-thirds of the route lies 10 miles from the nearest habitation and the "development" (to use a modern term) of the area consists ot a few obscure, often impassable, trails and one or two rude lean-tos of dubious protective worth. (Note: the Park Service may have improved the trails somewhat by the date of the hike, tho at the writing this has not been done). After the second day our daily habits will be ab- reviated to ones of pioneer simplicity and privation. The inconsequential choices which make up the adventure of our normal lives, give way to relentless compulsions. Where, two nights before we had exercised a lanquid choice in dialing between two radio stations, we will now find ourselves in the stern grip of circumstance with no choices at all. For, civilization is behind us, and the wilderness is all about us, inescapable, implacably compelling. There is a real hazard in thus being forced to do things—and what a contrast there is! The camp fire, familiar to the most of us as a sort of ornament at a picnic, becomes an absolute necessity. If it died down at the picnic, we drove home; now if it lanquishes we suffer acute discomfort. There is no haven to which to return, and to retreat over miles of untrailed mountain wilderness to the settlements, may prove more torturing than to remain and submit to what comes. Our wood will not be cut and piled for us at our camp. It must be searched out and we can burn only dry timber, not sodden. Our hands and backs must be toughened to chopping it up and dragging it in. And the axe becomes an indispensable tool, its staccato sound and swelling echoes bringing a friendly 41
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

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 1932 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.
