My wife and I managed to get away last weekend and spend a couple of days just riding through Cades Cove in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park.
We saw lot of animals, bear, whitetail deer and turkey and of course the beautiful scenery. Here is one of the shots I managed to come home with.

A beautiful and peaceful scene, Bruce.

Made my first trip down through Kentucky and the Carolinas last year, Catherine was raised in Kentucky. In any event I was suprised how beautiful that area is. I recall Cades Cove and wished we had been able to spend more time in Great Smokey Mountain NP.

Beautiful country and a great pic. We were there in May 2 years ago. It is indeed some beautiful and rugged country. We saw 11 bears going through Cades Cove.

We saw 8 bears on Saturday evening and on Sunday we were there all day and had 23 sightings. I say sightings because some of the 2-3 year olds could have the same ones but I'm sure that there were well over 10 separate bears that day.
