The past few days have been relaxing. We drove over to Cherokee, NC Tuesday. The drive over was beautiful. Wednesday we took it easy as the weather turned rainy. Thursday we drove over to Gatlinburg. As we drove through the Great Smoky Mtn. Park, the traffic slowed then stopped as there were 3 bears up in the trees along the side of the road. The bear in the photo below decided to climb down out of that tree and boy did alot of the folks start to scramble for their cars. :-)
After wandering around Gatlinburg we headed back to the campground as the temperatures were dropping fast. But before we left, we got a picture of us with some of the autumn decorations that are all over up here. They really go all out for the autumn season! Oh and by the way, 2 more bear cubs along the side of the road on the way back! Unfortunately, they ran into the woods before we could get their photo. Bear count so far: 10!
