Your pic's are just great. I enjoyed them. When our children were little, we would taken them   often, but now that they have there own familys. So we  don't go as much as we would like. Your pic's bring back a lot of enjoyable times for us and our family again thanks for posting this for all of us to see The Meador's in Lafayette, TN.

I agree the pics are great I will be traveling to Gatlinburg in January 09 I have been there twice a year for the past 2 1/2 years and have not had a chance to see all the bears and deers you have.  I own two cabins there and they are both on Mountain Chalets rentals Cuddley Bears Hideaway and Mountain Romance.  In June I stayed at Mountain Romance and we did have a Mama Bear and two cubs in our driveway going thru the neighbors garbage,  They were wonderful we tried to take pics however, it was way to dark. Only got one shot as they were leaving and the light was enough to film a glimps of them.  I was like a kid soo excited at 4am in the morning. IMy husband and I did not want to go back to sleep.
