When I was a kid my mother and I would hang out there every summer. It was really nice yesterday just to be there walking and thinking about her. I did notice that they do not open the loop until 10am on Wednesday and Saturday morning. Must be a protect the wildlife thing..just guessing... anyway.. Tourist type people kill me. Yesterday while in the loop we come to a complete stop. People out looking on a hill down into a thick patch of blackberries. They are pointing and all beside themselves. My first thought is bears. I see a guy jump out of his SUV with a pair of binos and he heads out over the hill. A few mins later I see him come back and say to him..see anything interesting...He starts laughing and I quote.."Yep three little girls picking blackberries way over in the field"...I made my way around the traffic with the Tourist still pointing and eyeballing the..three little girls picking blackberries way over in the field... \:D

There are people that go to Gatlinburg and honestly think the edge of the earth exists beyond that last traffic light. I have several co-workers that only frequent the area strictly for the aquarium, jip joints and go carts. One guy in my office that got married there had never heard of Cades Cove when I asked him about it.

As for the Wednesday 10 am opening, it's great to bike it at sunrise up until they open the flood gates.

As for your post, years ago as for a prank me and a buddy after hiking 5 days on the AT came down and drove the loop. For a gag, during some bumper-to-bumper traffic, my buddy jumped outta my truck and took off running with his camcorder. Several other people threw their cars up in park,grabbed their cameras and followed him. Hahahahaha. And it was absolutely nothing but a prank.

It's also fun to start wildly pointing out the window and watch the reactions of the people in your rear view mirror.

We were trying to get to the trailhead to hike up to Abrams Falls a few weeks ago and traffic had come to a complete stop for about 15 minutes. When we finally got up to where the blockage was, there was one hen turkey scratching around about 50 yards off the road. Same thing, people with cameras and binos were spread out all over trying to get a look at her like she was some exotic creature.

I love asking Cades Cove rangers which end of the cove is open for bow hunting?

Say it with a very serious face and you get a WIDE variety of looks and answers. Fun, fun, fun! \:D

Glad you got to enjoy memories of your Mom in such a beautiful place.

I love Cades Cove. Last time I was there, I saw this huge buck cross the road in front of me and go out into a field and lay down. I was standing in the truck doorway with camera in hand.
Guy walks up and says what ya lookin at?

Ans: A big buck.

Q: Well, I dont see it.

Ans: He's out there.

Q: Out in the field?

Ans: Yeah

Q: Where is he at in relation to that dead bush.

Ans: Thats his rack!

I thought the man was going to choke.

I would love to have a bigfoot costume and walk around in some of the field edges right at dark. Maybe even jump out on a few people. Dang that would be fun.

i think the absolute best i saw was the big field on the left before you get to the mill. there's a doe standing there and this big behemouth of a woman was actually doing the low crawl towards it to get a picture. me and my wife were dying laughing.i used to cruise through the picnic area and say hey did y'all see that bear down there and it would look like a stampede. \:D

Do park rangers have a sense of humor?
