cataloochee

an excellent weekend in asheville with an old friend i hadn't seen in seven or eight years --- today we drove over to cataloochee, where i had been wanting to go since the national park service re-introduced elk in 2001 --- it was wonderful to sit along the road for a while just watching them do their elk thing --- the valley itself was simply spectacular, with great buildings, and the drive up and across cataloochee ridge on a fine gravel road was outstanding --- will definitely go back
