Also known as The Robert Palmer Cemeterty and The Palmer Family Cemetery, The Palmer Cemetery is located about a mile and a half from the trailhead of the Boogerman Trail on a small unmarked side trail to the right. The access trail is a little steep but only about 50 yards up. There are no headstones.
GPS Coordinates: N35.61746 W83.08440
This is believed to be the final resting place of Robert "Boogerman" Palmer. One of the more intriguing characters of Park lore.
Here's an interesting blog about the man, the legend and the trail:
