Barleys St. Patricks Day 5k
The 5th Annual St. Patrick’s Day 5k paradoxically enticed runners with pizza and beer from Barley’s Taproom and Pizzeria in the Old City on Sunday, but it was all for a great cause: Emily’s Power For A Cure. EPFAC is a foundation with a mission to raise funds and awareness for neuroblastoma research.
Elkmont—The Ghost Town of the Smokies
Established in 1908 by the Little River Lumber Company, Elkmont was a logging town connected by railroad and at the center of an untouched forest. Trains coming off the Smokey mountains would use the community as a place of rotation so another locomotive could transport the timber for cutting. Photos by Chet Guthrie
