One man from California was hiking at the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in Tennessee one day when he discovered something unusual. He found an abandon town tucked away in the trees. He found it while vacationing in 2009. He went back in May 2013 to take a picture of his discovery. He recorded a 22 minute video and posted it on YouTube that got many of views. It was a mile up the road on a unmarked gravel road. It was not too far from one of the largest campgrounds at Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The abandon town has an abandon hotel built over 100 years ago. It was used for visitors travelers going up the mountain until it closed in 1992. This man's research showed that this is when the hotel was closed and the last time anyone has been in the town. The national park has over 80 building in the park alone. The National Park Service thinks the building is beyond repair and not able to use for preservation. I think that it would be a good idea to make this building into a museum or some type of park building.
What would you do if you found this building on a hike? What would you do if you found an abandon town?

Good job!!
I would report the building I found. I would try and rebuild it and make it a land mark to visit.
It happens all the time its abandon town its most likely useless. I would check it out and report it though to see if its important or not
I think that it would be really cool because it is a part of history. If I found an abandoned town, it would be cool to think about what it was like back then.
I would just think it was a cool find to find an old building and probably take a picture of it but other than that I probably would do much. I might leave a mark or something of when I discovered it and same thing with a town. I wouldn't make a big deal about it.
Me too. I would just tell a park ranger and let them do what they want with it.
I would record my findings and study it, and probably be terrified because i would think its haunted.
I would probably do the same thing.
I would be really surprised and I would think that would be very interesting and I would take a picture and probably tell people of my finding.
Me too. I think I would explore it myself first and then tell people.
