This is the last day in Knoxville so I went over to Roaring Fork, one of the drives through the Smoky Mountains National Park for some more picture taking opportunities. I got to see a black bear and a cub near the beginning of the loop. The pictures of them aren’t that good because of the thick undergrowth messing with the autofocus, but it was still a treat. After that, it was slow going, winding through the park, stopping to take pictures where I saw something that looked good. I got a few good shots of some of the streams, but the locals say that the water levels are extremely low due to the drought.

After that I headed back to pack the bike up for the ride home.
