"Noah 'Bud' Ogle Cabin"

The Noah 'Bud' Ogle cabin on Cherokee Orchard Rd. in the GSMNP. This shot was taken in mid October of this year. Reports earlier this week said it perished in the blazing fury that hit Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas of the Smokies but tonight heard that it was still there. So many conflicting reports but in reality, no one has been allowed in the area to know. I sure hope it's still standing. Sending a prayer for everyone involved in this disaster.
