Last week GSMA employee, Melinda Powell, was able to clarify this issue for a visitor to the Smoky Mountains (Sevierville Chamber of Commerce) Visitor Center on Highway 66.
Melinda admitted that she considered telling the visitor that a deer turned into an elk at age 5 and in 5 more years it became a moose, but she restrained herself.
