Hemphill Bald – This side belongs to Cataloochee Ranch and the other side to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Yesterday was another one of those beautiful, spring-like days – the last we will have for several days, so we took advantage with another end-of-day walk down the ranch road in the picture above.
Wait. Why are there only five member of The Herd in formation? Who would break rank?

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
O… Just like the Luke… my heart belongs teu Kiska!

Great maneuvering, Kiska, keep the Herd protected! Gotta stay alert on ALL fronts.
Ice sez: Atta girl, Kiska, make sure there’s nothing going to sneak up on your family. Might be a bunny hiding in that underbrush.
