YUp - that was what I thought I've been up and down the Skyline drive and Blue Ridge a nubmer of times, have camped in sundry locations along the way and spent the night on Mt. La Conte back in the late 60's. Have been in both N. Calif and the Smoky Mountains in the last 2 years... I was pretty sure that book cover was bogus. annsan
