Great video! I wish we had seen this before Wednesday. Out of all the days we chose to drive through we picked Wednesday! Yes it was closed to vehicles. But since it was an hour off our route to get there we took the horse carriage tour with our amazing tour guide Sal!! Sal went above and beyond to help us see a bear! Yes he was successful!! As he mentioned, usually he spots a bear due to his quiet nature of the carriage. As a native Floridan, I went to Tennessee to see bears and I was fully satisfied! Thanks Sal and Cades Cove for your wildlife reserve. Candy. Oh yes thank you also Sal for changing our flat tire on my sisters big truck!!
Thank you so much and really appreciate you watching. Oh wow, a horse carriage ride around the area would be amazing. Sorry to hear about you getting there on Wed. But looks like you guys made the best out of it. I bet the River Rat River Tube place ends up with a lot of folks on Wed. Also since people discover they can’t drive through. We loved the area and can’t wait to go back ourselves. Any other questions, please feel free to reach out.
When I was a kid and we visited Pigeon Forge, we would spend a day in Cades Cove. We only saw bears a few times. There are so many good hiking trails around there. I’m glad your mission was a success!
Well glad you got to see some beer! I've never thought any of those old structures or cemeteries or creepy to me they feel like home. Extremely peaceful. That biggest mountain you filmed is the mountain we hiked a while back to Gregory's bald on our backpacking trip. Also you rode right by the hidden Pearl harbor tree it was just like 50 yd off the side of the road past that first Baptist Church on your right.
Holy cow, you guys don't mess around. Dang it, hiden pearl harbor sounds so cool. The whole pigeon forge/gatlinburg area just had so much to do - it was a bit overwhelming. But we had so much fun and can't wait to go back.
Love the good rule of "thumb" . . . i think I will use the "Pinky" method! Janis and I loved visited old cemeteries of older towns, a lot of history in them, we would try to find family members.
LOL, I'm changing it to the Ron's Pinky Rule for myself! I like to visit cemeteries but try to do it quickly. I don't want want to see one of those stories.
We love Cades Cove! Such a beautiful - and historic - area. I loved walking through all the historic churches and houses along the drive. Your recreation of the Eminem photo was amazing! Nailed it. And you saw bears!! Thanks for taking us back to Cades Cove!
Glad we had to check it out before we headed home. So pretty. We were a wimp trying the trails or even the waterfall. Even though we were looking for Bears, we didn't want to run into one outside of our car. Such a beautiful area for sure.
Ya as outdoorsy as we are I think we'd still prefer to see bears from the comfort of our car and not while out on the trail! Mister said we can skip the cemeteries if we ever go there! Could've been your creepy music that did him in! Actually, he said the stories were SCARY! That's funny cause he loves looking at Halloween displays and animatronics in the stores. That cabin was super cool. Imagine living there when horsies were your main method of transportation. Out there all on your own! Super cool adventure!
We did so many touristy things that we had to reserve that morning to do something outdoorsy (from our car of course). It's crazy because after we got home, we found out a bear got into one of the Anakeesta food places and then lunged at a worker. I was going to add some clips on those scary stories that I have heard, but decided not to so I can get the video out.
A place to see bears? That's cool.. I saw a few in the wild back when we went camping lol.. they were huge.. but we kept our distance. Spooky church. Glad you guys got to see the bears in the end.. Carl, you're smart, film from the car hehe.. 🐻🧸
It's not a zoo so it's drive and hope you see one. We got lucky seeing a few right outside of cades cove. I think we should have gotten there right at 6 am to have a better chance. The close up bear shots came from Melissa.
Quick, a roast Turkey for dinner. 🍗🍗🦃🤣 Love the old Methodist Church. ⛪ WOW! Dan Lawson's House. How cool was seeing the Bears. 🐻 Awesome adventure in the Smokey Mountains. Have a great week Carl and Melissa. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Cades Cove looks beautiful, wow it's huge! A beautiful spot for an adventure. I will gladly stay 50 yards away from the wildlife haha. So amazing to get to see the different animals. Love seeing the old Methodist church! Very cool inside. And wow - haunted is even more fun haha. Beautiful views for sure! Wow, love those mountains! Wow a home from the 1840s! And still standing, very cool to see. It really does look like the Eminem album hahaha! Love your recreation! Aweee a mama and her babies! So cool you got to see that before you wrapped up. I would be in the car too LOL! What a neat place to visit!
We really enjoyed our time here and a very pretty area. I heard there was some good trails and a waterfall here also. But I was not in the mood to get eaten by a bear.
“Mission to see a bear” 50 yards, I would be about 100 yards away 🤣🤣 2:20 interesting. Nice scenic drive around the loop, cool looking church. Built in the 1840’s 😮 that’s some history for you. Glad you guys seen some bears 👏🏾 Nice vid guys! Have a great week ahead. -Rufus
We loved it there! We saw a bear but it was far away! We went with a local - it was so fun! I never knew it was supposed to be haunted - that's so interesting! Hha such a good quote, " If you're in a hurry, this is not for you!" No truer words have been spoken lol You could be Em's double! lol You were so close to the bears! That's so cool, we saw one super far away!
Melissa was the brave one. I went outside for a couple minutes and then got in the Car. Bears are beautiful animals but from very far away for sure. Cades Cove is beautiful and a great view of the smokies for sure.
I never did get to go on any mission trips. All ours were to some pretty amazing countries, but we didn't have the money to be able to go on any of them. Great work that they are doing though! I hope you're better at finding bear than you are at finding fish, lol. You're the closest thing I've seem to Eminem in a long time HAhaha. You got your bear sighting! Great job!

Sandals are perfect to wear the bears prefer it. It makes you easier to catch 😱😂
I didn’t think of that. At least I can out run Melissa in her Crocs.
Great views...ghosts and Bears .. that's a great day out..
Glad we didn't end up seeing any ghost and not eaten by the bear. It was a good day.

@@SantosChronicles lol! The bears usually stay away from the hiking trails

Love the old Methodist Church. ⛪
WOW! Dan Lawson's House.
How cool was seeing the Bears. 🐻
Awesome adventure in the Smokey Mountains.
Have a great week Carl and Melissa. 👍🏼🙏🏼
We were not ready to be wandering around with Bears yet, so being able to get a loop through nature was more than enough for us. Such a pretty area.
I loved Cades Cove!! So neat with all the mountains and historic buildings and wildlife all in one place! Glad you got to see some bears! 🎉
On your trip, I remember you seeing some bears. Was it here or somewhere else. The area is just so pretty for sure.
@@SantosChronicles it was there in Cades Cove. We saw two bears!
Congrats on finding the bear and cubs!! 🧸 they are so cute at a distance!!
Very cute from a very far distance. 2 days after we left, we found out a bear ended up at Anakeesta. That would have freaked me out.
I love That it came through for you in the end. And Carl, you were so brave!!!😂. Pretty shots all through
I'm am far from Brave! Cades Cove was very pretty but we skipped the trails and waterfall path - didn't want to get eaten by a bear.

Yea, 100 yards is a better rule! Cades Cove was a really pretty area. Seeing the Bear from that far was good enough for me.
Beautiful views and nice job on seeing the bears.
We got lucky being able to see those bears. I was good after that. They terrify me.
I love Cade’s Cove! I would love ti make it back there in the fall!! I never heard the thumb rule- that’s a great tip!!
Yea, this place would be so pretty in the fall for sure. I would recommend Anakeesta also since you'll be high above and see all the colors changing.
The spitting image of Eminem😄 That's awesome you actually got to see a mama bear with her cubs - Melissa is brave!🐻👀
We were happy to see those Bears from a distance. I was so scared of running into a bear in the wild the whole trip.
We loved it there! We saw a bear but it was far away! We went with a local - it was so fun! I never knew it was supposed to be haunted - that's so interesting!

Melissa was the brave one. I went outside for a couple minutes and then got in the Car. Bears are beautiful animals but from very far away for sure. Cades Cove is beautiful and a great view of the smokies for sure.
This place is pretty cool. I’ve actually been here before but didn’t see any bears 😎Jenn
Yea, you have to get here really early on later int he day. We tried but didn't see one. Got lucky we saw one outside of Cades Cove.
I never did get to go on any mission trips. All ours were to some pretty amazing countries, but we didn't have the money to be able to go on any of them. Great work that they are doing though!

I have so many great memories with all those mission trips I did as a kid. LOL, I would not last in the wild with my tracking skills for sure.
What were you more frightened of? Ghosts 👻? Bears 🐻? Or Eminem doing a diss track on you????
Here is the order. Ghosts, Bears, then Eminem. Eminem is lethal with those rhymes. Really enjoying his new album that just came out. Classic Eminem.

Thanks for watching.
