Roaring Fork Motor Trail




Has anyone ever heard of Roaring Fork Motor Trail in Gatlinburg? Here is one of the first cabins that was built in the Gatlinburg area. It had 2 rooms with a fireplace in each and 11 people lived in these 2 rooms!!!!! Me and Bryan were speechless....I couldn't imagine 11 people living in that small of a house...neither could he. It's impressive to think how people in the 1800's and early 1900's lived and managed in the mountain environment.....it was very pretty there too. There was also a hog pen behind the house by the old barn....I tried to get Bryan to stick his head in there as a joke; he wouldn't do it. Said I was being mean!!! Not me!!! Never!!! lol Below is a picture of the hog pen....
