I am looking for information on the hostels and stores just north of the Smokey Mountain National Park near Waterville School Rd & I-40. On my map I see two and assume one is Mountain Mama and one is Standing Bear Farm. Does anyone know which is which? If they are still open? Can I resupply enough to get the next 30 miles to Hot Springs?

I appreciate any help as I am planning my thru for next Feb and want to go straight through the Smokies if I can from Fontana Dam without exiting to Gatlinberg if possible.

Mountain Mama (Moma) is definitely closed. Standing Bear Farm is open and going strong.
