The Smoky Mountains are a short drive away and we can be found often there on day trips but all the "Do Nots" do not cover everything which reminds me of a story my DH shared. It seems a former co-worker and his wife were in the Smoky's years ago. They were inside their car having a picnic lunch when a black bear approached. It must have been a bad year for food because that animal wanted their sandwiches and although the windows were up, that beast managed to get its claws under the weather stripping and some how snagged the man's scalp...do I need to say more? Luckily they escaped driving straight to the emergency room. I have to problem respecting and staying far away from wild animals. They are not to be messed with and shouldn't be encouraged to take human food. If the person feeding isn't injured then the next person will get it.

I'm not sure that they make them anymore. Such a shame because they were good when you didn't want chocolate (which I don't like as much chocolate in the summertime). <br /><br />You had a great A to Z series--original and well executed.
