Justin and I went camping in Cades Cove (Smoky Mountain National Park) last weekend for our first over night without Olivia. We saw bears and Olivia had fun with Grandma and Grandpa!
This is a picture of a picture because it wasn't from our camera. We decided to go on a short hike close to our campsite just before dinner. As we came up over a hill, we saw a truck ahead of us stopped in the middle of the road. They warned us of a bear, which so happened to be RIGHT over the hill we were walking over. We would have walked within 10 feet of where the bear was! The couple in the truck was on their honeymoon and let us in the back to see the bear over the hill. We didn't have our camera, but they so happened to have a bunch of disposable cameras from their wedding so we got to get some pictures of our first black bear sighting! There is no zoom of course, so the picture shows how close we actually were to the bear!
A little blury, but still a bear.
This was one of the first houses in the Cades Cove area.
Our campsite.
Another bear we saw, this time from our car.
We hiked 5 miles (round trip) to Abram Falls off the the Cades Cove loop.
