Taffy still there (and fudge!) but the bears...you pretty much have to go driving/hiking around in the park to see any. And of course, they don’t want any bear feeding!
To me, it’s just way too crowded and built up. When I went over in mid-July last year, even during a pandemic it was more crowded than I like. I wanted to see some things over in Cherokee so one day I drove over to the interstate and crossed over the mountains into North Carolina that way, then came through Maggie Valley and Cherokee back into the Park and Gatlinburg. I decided that if/when I ever go back, I’m staying in Maggie Valley or Cherokee.

CCP member Jang once again took our lunch. Calls Blinken out for not wanting to talk in-front of the media.
This was back in the sixties. Last time we took the trip was maybe 1971, I had just got my license and was driving, mom and dad sleeping, I took a wrong turn and ended up in SC instead of NC where my sister lived.
