Taking a break
Uploaded: December 21, 2007
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!

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
