Taking a break

Uploaded: December 21, 2007

Description

Cades Cove area has a drive through of about 18 miles but you can stop and get out and walk up and to and through all the cabins, barns, churches and mill. PLUS, you get to see all the wonderful 'almost tame' wildlife, deer, black bear, hawks, coyote mix breeds, etc. We were on foot exploring when a young girl asked me to take a picture of she and her dad and then returned the favor for us!

Hey PAT!!! You are such a sweetheart!!! I wish the same thing! We would love to give you a big hug too! Maybe the club will grasp this and each of them add one of themselves and or family!! Hey, we could have a silly saturated family shootout INCLUDING a 'normal' picture with the entry??? Let's see what the Grand Poo Bah says????

Hi Jessica, THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Nikki.....I am OH SO BLESSED!!!! She is truly a gift from above! Of course, she may not think of me as a 'blessing' until I am long gone but that is ok! lol! We laugh together quite a bit so maybe after she is in her late 20's....

Dianna Hauf December 29, 2007

HI TAM-TAM! Thanks, it's the 'kid' in us! ;)

LIZ, we were! It was great to get away! Time for another get-a-way!!! ;)

Hey Phil!!! Some of the black bear are STILL too comfortable with people around but it is not like you can go up to them and feed them! HUGE mistake! But you can get pretty close to them! I was but a few feet away from one and frozen stiff from the experience! hahaha
The wildlife management has done an amazing job at making the bear 'wild' again and now they say there is a bear for every square mile in and around this area BUT you are darned lucky if you see them!!!! Thank you for the visit!!! #5263404

Dianna Hauf December 29, 2007
