Elk in Cherokee Day 1

One of the main goals for our vacation was to find and photograph Elk.  We knew that going to Cherokee, NC would be our best bet, so we planned to get up early, pack our lunch, and get on the road to drive the hour through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from Tennessee to North Carolina.  We did not get on the road as early as we hoped, and once we arrived, we tried to find the Elk on foot.  We got too hot and uncomfortable so we abandoned our hike and hopped in the car.  We quickly spotted some Elk crossing the road, but only got some cell phone pictures.  We decided to drive around for a bit to see if we could find a herd, but we didn't have cell phone signal so we were limited in our willingness to explore too many side streets were we could have easily gotten lost.  Eventually, we got hungry and headed to a picnic area for our lunch before we headed back to the cabin.

All that said, I can't remember when these pictures were taken, and they are in the opposite order which I didn't bother to try to fix.
