Bear sightings in the Smoky Mountains occur more often. Maybe it’s because we all have cameras on our phones now, and maybe it’s because they have little space left to have tourist attractions and resorts nearby.
They can’t escape us and they don’t want to either. We have great food and enjoy fun things like hot tubs and swimming pools. Who can resist these things?

The hosts were crazy cool and now my toddlers want a bear.
Looked. They look like teenagers who just got caught in the neighbor’s pool. LOL
