A routine moment at a cabin turned into a close encounter with nature when a friendly bear decided to wander up the driveway just as the family was trying to back out.

Curious but bold, the family couldn’t resist getting out of the car to see the strolling bear up close. The bear, however, seemed less than amused by their presence and, perhaps, even more disappointed by the lack of a snack in the empty trash bins.

A friendly bear in Gatlinburg, Tennessee was strolling up our cabin driveway while we were trying to back out. Instead of staying in the car, we all got out to see him, but he wasn't impressed with us. It also seemed like he wasn't impressed with the trash being empty, either.
