Say what?  That's where I pulled my first 20-mile day in 1990,
up near the northern end of the park.  I forget which shelter I
started at (Derek's Knob? Peck's Corner?) but I remember the
day ended at Davenport Gap Shelter.

IMHO, the stretch from Wesser to Fontana is more difficult
than anything in the Smokies.  The climb out of Sweetwater
Gap was a sonofabitch.  So was the climb out of Wesser,
but that might have been from overindulgence (two breakfasts,
plus ice cream) at NOC.
