while it's the heart of Ginseng season, if it were a grow op, it would have been a much bigger story.
I hike off-trail all the time, as do many, MANY others. The only thing fishy about that is when I'm actually fishing

, and one would be silly to infer that one would only be off-trail only for questionable activities.
Hiking(tons of manways), Peak Bagging, Historical finds, and many of the Smokies best features are all off-trail
