Trammell spent his final years in Waynesville, NC, which is 30 miles east of the south entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, NC. Those who have been to that area, as I have, know that it's a perfect place for a man who loved camping and, outside the park boundaries, hunting.
