mm 3.1 Clyde Smith shelter. Note the shovel. Tennessee shelters have no privies. One is supposed to take the shovel, go out in the woods and improvise.

mm 5.0 Greasy Creek Gap. Note that there is a road behind and just below the campsite. To reach Greasy Creek Friendly where there is parking, take this road to the right. See listings for more directions. There may or may not be a sign here. The neighbor of the hostel keeps tearing them down.
