With lottery ticket in hand we boarded the trolley into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and hiked up a trail to find a spot to best view the fireflies (actually flying beetles) when it got dark. Soon a party of others joined us (bears were spotted further down the trail) and volunteers passed out red cellophane to cover our flashlights and iPhone screens so as not to distract the fireflies or firefly fan club. The volunteer rangers kept bringing others to our spot because they said we were the most fun. Plus we had donuts.
