    I am a member and I am concerned about the changes I have seen in the past couple of years. My main purpose for taking the 6-hour drive to the Smokies is to visit Cades Cove with the exciting prospect of seeing the bears. In the past when a bear came near the roadway, Park Rangers would station themselves there to keep people back and allow the bears some space, allowing for viewing and pictures to be taken. It was orderly and afforded great opportunities to see the bears. Now, however, when a bear comes anywhere near the road, rangers prohibit viewing or even stopping and shout at you as if you committed some terrible offense if you even slow down. The long lines that usually occurred when bears were present were somewhat annoying, but I feel necessary for us to endure to see the bears. I have seen bears with cubs walk between cars and people with no incidents and creating a great deal of pleasure. I have been with groups of people who stood and watched and photographed the bears who tend to ignore us anyway, for extended periods of time, making our visit to Cades Cove well worth the drive. Now, not so much. So, now, if you want to see a bear in Tennessee, you might as well go to the Memphis Zoo. This interaction with bears and people never appeared to harm or upset the bears, as they have gotten used to cars and walking humans. It appears it bothers the Rangers more than the bears.
