Ok, our last stop on our hike thru the Smokies was at Mollies Ridge Shelter. We went from Spence to Mollies which is a easy and amazing hike. A couple of climbs but nothing major. the shelter is very pleasant and lies in an open area(grassy) with some trees. There is a fire ring and with some longs around it. There is no privy. The water source was like a waterfall the day we got there but the next morning the flow was significantly less. Still a good source for sure. The shelter's eating area was on the side of the structure not in front like alot of the others. We got there around 2:30 pm and chilled out but by 9 pm it was a full house. Also a team of trail maintainers had shown up that number about 10. They tented outside the shelter but one of them had to come in the shelter due to his tent leaking from all the rain that hit us that evening. His gear was soaked including his basketball shorts which he simply could not keep up his ass. I'm pointing this out because it was quite disgusting. he was having problems hanging his pack up in the shelter and he decided to hang it right in front of myself, wife and daughter. One big ass 5 feet away. LOL. Well there is a shelter story for you to tell your friends and chuckle about. The bunks seemed a little shorter in length than some of the other shelters but it was not big deal. this concludes my shelter reviews on this trip. I hope the info is helpful to other hikers in their planning.
