The film shows the trail as it should be constructed. Mt. Cammerer Trail, constructionGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkThe film shows the trail as it should be constructed. The shooting wire held by the men in the picture gives the alignment. With very little additional drilling, Foreman Parsley can put up with this section on solid rock and eliminate wall work that will be very difficult to hold. This is especially true of the foundation towards the position from which the picture was taken. Mt. Cammerer Trail; construction, II-Th-5197, Physical Facilities - Trails - Horse Trails

View is looking up the trail showing a section on which 105 ft. of wall is to be constructed. Mt. Cammerer TrailGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkView is looking up the trail showing a section on which 105 ft. of wall is to be constructed. This wall will be average of 5 feet high and the tow as designed is not wide enough to take care of this section. Approximately 1.5 cu. yd. of concrete will be required for footers and group for the steel pins designed to tie with. Sand and cement would have to be packed from NP-7, a distance of about 6 miles. Water (60 gallons) would have to be carried about one mile.Mt. Cammerer Trail, II-Th-5201, Physical Facilities - Trails - Horse Trails
Women of the park embroidered and made a quilt during the summer of 1973Great Smoky Mountains National ParkBased on wild flower designs, the Park Women embroidered and made a quilt. During the summer of 1973, various members went to Cades Cove and quilted at the Becky Cable House. The quilt was ultimately raffled off with the proceeds going to the Sevier County Association for Retarded Children. Winner of the quilt was Mrs. Edgar Menning (Jean) who was living in Omaha, Nebr. Alma Whaley (Mrs. Audley), Bea Walters (Mrs. William), and Lorene Carr ( Mrs. Troy).Park Women's Quilt, IV-P-4636, Miscellaneous - Personnel

Taken from same location as the two preceding pictures. Mt. Cammerer Trail, constructionGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkTaken from same location as the two preceding pictures. I took this view to show the need of shooting away a projecting rock, which is already drilled, as shown by the stick that Mr. Parsley has in the hole. It would be difficult for a pack horse to pass this place unless this projecting rock were removed. The view also shows that the wall section to be built is unnecessary.Mt.

Shows men hauling rock up over a high cliff to get face work for the wall. Mt. Cammerer TrailGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkShows men hauling rock up over a high cliff to get face work for the wall. No one will ever get below this rock and see the rock as placed, and in my opinion, rock would do very well, and speed up construction.Mt.

Picture taken from the same position as was used in preceding picture. Mt. Cammerer Trail, constructionGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkPicture taken from the same position as was used in preceding picture. This shows the layout, as ordered by Mr. Wilhelm and Mr. Ware. The shooting wire shows the alignment. Wall would be difficult to construct and the two curves are in my opinion, unnecessary. The toe-holes are drilled, but would require cement grout and a footer to really give good construction. The wall, top of which is showing, has required the work of 7 men for the past 3 weeks. In that time, a bench 7 feet wide could have been built and completed by now. All the scarring that will be done at this place has been done, and this should not be held as an excuse.Mt.
