Here's the sign on the ladies' restroom door at the first campground we stayed in at Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
We saw plenty of each. There were lots of bats at night, which were eating mosquitos and making the campground more pleasant. I love their evening flutters.
Above is a copperhead about to go into the water. Other people on the Abram's Falls trail were afraid of snakes. Some even turned back. Snakes are pretty cool, I think. We did run into a black bear on a different trail, though;I was unable to get a good shot of that even though it was close (150 feet or so), as my hands were shaking a bit. It was getting toward dusk too...no more late afternoon hiking, I think.

Uh, remind me not to go camping in North Carolina.
I swear I really do have two X chromosomes.
