The legendary Overmountain Shelter. As you can see, it's an old barn that at some point was converted to a rather capacious AT shelter. Word is that it can house a hundred sleepy hikers, but at that point the snoring would be enough to drive you batty, so fortunately for me our day's crew wasn't pushing those limits. The word is also that People Under the Stairs was filmed here as well, but I was too tired to be creeped out. That's yours truly leaning slightly against the rail and no doubt dreaming of what I'd order were there a Pizza hut at hand (large pepperoni).
