Smoky Mountain National Park - First Visit - Part 2

In days long-ago, people lived off the land.  They did not have supermarkets.  Apples  were a staple of their diet.  Apples were turned into cider, hard cider (for the men mostly), pies, applesauce, etc… Any homestead would have had some land reserved for growing apples; a small orchard.
