I was in Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Knoxville International Energy Exposition (actually the 1982 World's Fair) and spent a day up in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The park was established in 1934 and is an estimated 187,000 acres of mountains and ridges of forest straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. It also contains approximately 1,500 bears. At the first picnic area, the tourists were running for their cars, as a mother black bear and cub came out of the trees. The bear had a great time ripping coolers and picnic lunches open and eating anything she could find. Her cub had climbed up a tree. One elderly gentleman froze in his tracks. The bear climbed up on a table to check out the man. His wife was yelling out the car window, “get closer and take a picture” while everyone else was yelling for him to back away slowly. The bear collected her cub and left. The man had not taken a photo but I couldn’t help but to snap one off. Hand held film camera. Photo taken August 1982 and later scanned. I cropped out the man so I wouldn’t get in trouble. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments. Dana
