Page 4 was across a little branch from us, coiled and ready to strike. Mr. Anderson handed me his pistol and told me to shoot it. I did and killed it. He skinned it and gave me the skin for a belt. We reached the Hall Cabin late that afternoon in time to gather wood and cook supper. It is a beautiful spot up there on the Smoky divide. There were two rooms in the cabin, one in North Carolina and one in Tennessee. A fine spring was nearby making it an ideal camp spot. We stopped just one night there. We did not have any too much food along, of course; good cheese, bacon, biscuits, sardines, condensed milk, chocolate bars, jam, coffee, and crackers. Early the following morning we hit the trail for Siler Meadows (Siler's Bald). That trail was something to remember always. Such nice easy walking, mostly along a ridge. I think of it as one of thf lovliest trails 1 ever walked. There were many dwarf Beech trees along the way - so very picturesque - and some Spruce and Balsam in spots as we got higher up. There were many lovely wild flowers and shrubs and good views along that trail. We did not hurry and did not get tired. Walking along the ridges in the higher mountains, I think one gets a sort of second wind. We had a light lunch on the side of the trail and reached Siler Meadows early in the afternoon. Siler Meadows, or Siler's Bald, is one of the famous Balds of the Smokies. It is frequently called Siler Meadows on account of the grass that covers much of the summit.. There is an extensive and beautiful view from there. The old Spence Cabin was there at that time. Siler Meadows is on the Smoky divide. The elevation is 5,620. The air up there was delicious, like wine. A fairly clear day and that lovely
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).
