Smoky Mountains

Did you know that this is America's most visited national park? And to think that I hadn't even heard about this place before arriving to Ohio.

Wildlife in the Smokies is incredible. Over the course of the trip we counted 145 deer, 11 elk, 5 black bears, 2 snakes, and 3 salamanders. The bears were all at a distance, but the snakes were more up close (I nearly stepped on one, and the other one I accidentally ran over with the car).

Okay, I didn;t fidure out the video until I posted that. I say the "not big enough" picture. I admit you don't look very large and that is the only profile we see. Every other shot is just heads or hiding behind berry baskets. Love you, MOM
