| Junglebrook: Home of Noah "Bud" Ogle |
Special thanks to Judy Collins and the Great Smoky Mountain Association for inviting me to lead a Heritage Tour of the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail last Saturday. It was one of the activities scheduled during their membership weekend.
Our group included folks from Florida, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Illinois. We made stops at the Noah "Bud" Ogle home place, the Bales Cemetery, the Alex Cole Cabin at the Jim Bales Place, the Ephraim Bales place and, finally, to the remarkable Alfred Reagan home site and gristmill.

We love visiting the Smoky Mountains and we are fascinated by the small windowless cabins. I can't imagine people living in these small cabins!
Hey Dorothy. I agree. But it was more like they were camping. They spent a great deal of time outside; even some of the cooking was done outside. But at any rate, it was harsh living. I have visited a replica of Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond and it was tiny. It would easily fit in my living room.
