Springs

Fittified Spring about 4 miles above Greenbrier (2 miles up Porters Creek and 2 miles up Long Branch) at foot of east side of ridge connecting Brushy and Mount Winnesoka. During dry weather the spring flows intermittently, running about 7 or 8 minutes and stopping about 7 or 8 minutes depending on how dry it is. Prior to 1916 earthquake, the flow was always normal. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
