June 7, 2018 - A Little Bit of Wildlife


This snail was along the campground road.



We saw this doe several times in the forest along the campground road.


Some horseback riders stopped at our site to tell us that a tree had fallen across the trail, so we walked down to have a look.  It was not a very big log - until we tried to move it.  It was a tall, tall tree wedged between standing trees.  Andy called dispatch to report it.


This is the spot where the trail divides.  The left path goes to the horse day-rider parking lot and the right one goes to the horse campground.  I love the green-ness of the Smokies!



We only heard a bit of a Search and Rescue underway today.  A man fell fifty yards off Alum Cave Trail, a very steep mountainside. Rescue Ranger Heath was on the rescue team.  Dispatch announced, "emergency traffic only".
