Brandon heard of a place to 
drive through the mountains to a 
valley opening that was a known area
to see a lot of Elk
“Cataloochee Valley”
We look pictures by this creek….
Then, just a few minutes later all
these elk started popping out of the
woodwork in the same creek! 
At dusk they all started to come out into
the field! 
So close! 
Pretty lady, pretty view! 
Good idea Brandon! 
Me and Gran Mum!
