Indian Mountain State Park

Yesterday we camped at Cades Cove campground in Smoky Mt. Nat. Pk. Last night we went on the cades cove 11 mile loop drive. It must have been feeding time for the bears because we wound up seeing 5 of them. Barb spent about an hour taking pictures of the bears until it got too dark. We have been down here many times and this is the first time since 1996 that we have seen bears. It was great. We took another trip around the loop this morning and then Barb took an hour long horseback ride. We left the Smokies about 2 pm and am camped now at Indian Mountain St. Pk. in northern Tennessee. We should be home tomorrow.



We thought this bridge looked like a sailboat
