Entry - August 27, 1936

8:00 Am We reported to camp last night and they let us sleep for 5 hours and sent us up the road sixty miles to a place out side of the park called Winnoed Ridge where a thousand acres were burning and we worked there about twenty hours till we got that under control and then we went back to camp to see if there were any more fires to take care of. They told us to rest up and we were going to go out the next day maybe. I sure am one tired son-of-a-gun.

Winona (Winnoed) Ridge is one of the places Robert marked on his map as you can see below. I love how this is called a ridge. This is almost as tall as Tennessee's highest point. 

This is turning out to be a very rough week. We're six days in now from when the electrical storm came though. That is a long time for the kind of hours they are putting in.

In doing the research for this blog, I've come across many interesting places. Take a look at these cabins at the North Fork Hostel & Inn. I'd like to go stay there for the next month and finish out these posts.
