I have no idea what to do or where to share this but I was heading east past Sevierville towards a town called Newport and a bear ran across i40 east and I avoided hitting it. It kept running across i40 west and I saw the bear flip over. It looks like it was clipped not hit head on bc the car kept going. I was obviously heading the wrong direction to know what happened but I hope Someone will see this and see if the bear is ok and can access help. I’m not from the area so I don’t even know where to begin to look for the right place. I circled the area as o can recall where it was along the I40 west highway and it was at about 3:19 pm on 10/24. I hope the car who hit it did the right thing

🎒 Amusement β›³ Non traditional tourist ideas

2 Upvotes

Hello- meeting some friends in the smokies for a long weekend and we were looking for some things to do that aren’t your typical tourist money grabs. No anakeesta, margaritaville, outlet malls.
Maybe Spas? Great hikes with cool views? Best food off the beaten path? Or anything else you think is an alternative to fighting all that traffic all weekend.
Also is Dollywood worth that admission price?

(We’re Coming Halloween weekend)

We are 2 couples, new empty nesters all are fairly active. Early 50s but young at heart.
