Cataloochee Valley

Elk don't really care about rain. This guy is part of a herd of 25 that was reintroduced into the Smokies in 2001. It was really cool to see him just sitting around in the wild. He might even be the guy who left a huge pile of elk shit up the hill in the cemetery that the Finlander stepped in. Apparently elk hang out in cemeteries, too.
