Trip to Max Patch

Took a trip up to a friend's cabin Sunrise Lookout this weekend. The cabin is located deep in the Appalachians near the beautiful Max Patch, a high grassy bald with spectacular views of the Smoky Mountain National Park. With the cabin located only 7 miles from this great location my wife and I made the drive up for the sunset.Not a great sunset but an amazing view never the less. On the 7 mile return trip down the winding gravel road just after the sunset we saw 5 deer and a big black bear. In my 6 years living in the North Carolina mountains I have not seen this many deer and have only seen 3 bear.
