Good shot- David the bears are much fewer in Cades Cove than they used to be -so this was a good capture in many ways

I saw 9 bears on this trip around the loop. That was the most I've ever seen. This was a mom and three cubs. They came across the road right behind my truck. Mom stopped at my rear bumper to wait on the cubs. It was pretty cool....

Been through that area more than a few times and never saw a bear...(my wife just reminded me I saw a mom and cub run across the road years ago). We usually make our trips up there in Oct. for the colors, but always have an eye on the woods while we're driving. Nice catch.
