Back to the stunning Smokies - Smokemont and Elkmont, the same sites we stayed at last
year when it rained quite a bit! Sunshine this time and much busier. The nightly, natural light show of flashing synchronized fireflies was just as amazing, a butterfly bonanza, black bears, white tailed deer, gorgeous scenery, wild turkeys, a black snake, and a toad you would not want to kiss! - add great hiking and it was a recipe for fun.
We had a lovely time watching the Momma bear feeding and playing with her three cubs and chasing them up the tree when she felt they were in danger - best free show ever - I just love my bears!
