Synchronous Fireflies again..

We went back to Elkmont to see the fireflies...We had a campsite at Elkmont and when we were told that we couldn't drive up the road to the cabins, we drove in the campground to the trail that goesbto Jakes Creek trail.  We set up our chairs and waited for sundown...the fireflies like we have at home came out first and then  the flasher appeared...they put on quite a show making patterns like moving constellations.  complete darkness and then fireworks all night.  they were still flashing in the campground when we went back at 10:30 p.m.  We spent the night at the Riverside, and next day we hiked on the Kephard Prong trail in North Carolina....
