Smokies hit by vandals during federal shutdown | The Asheville Citizen-Times | citizen-times.com: But on Saturday night, someone blow-torched a locked gate at the junction of Newfound Gap Road and Clingmans Dome Road, broke through the gate, then proceeded up the road to the Clingmans Dome parking lot. They then used the torch on a Great Smoky Mountains Association donation box, in an attempt to gain access to the money inside, Jordan said. They caused significant damage to the box, but they were unsuccessful in stealing the money inside.
Not that they would have gotten much. “Anyone breaking into a donation box that no one can get to is not going to be the sharpest tool in the shed,” said Terry L. Maddox, executive director of the Great Smoky Mountains Association, which maintained the box.
