Hiking SB from Hughes Gap to Erwin this week and was wondering if there are Bear Cables at Cherry Gap and Curley Maple Shelters? Thanks in advance! Hope its not too crowded but not holding out much hope for that.

I'm pretty sure there aren't. They're both rather modest shelters.
But perhaps someone else on WhiteBlaze has a more definitive answer for you...
Thanks I'm going to assume they don't and will be pleasantly surprised if they do.
This video visit from January of last year

doesn't mention any bear-proofing items, and any that might be there don't seem to be very visible.
Thanks! Good info.
Carry a canister--really.
