Heads Up to anyone who have plants on the Appalachian Trail.
A LOT of the forest is on fire in Nantahala Nationtal Forest and now the Fire is in the Smokys. The Wesser Fire Tower is confirmed burned and in know of at least 6 boxes on that loop. Couldn't find any of them three weeks ago when I was up there but I also didn't have anything to dig in the undergrowth with. However now, All plants are likely gone.

At the time of this post there is concern that NOC is also on Fire.
