This mother bear and three cubs showed up on Middle Creek Road in Sevierville yesterday afternoon just in time to cause a bear jamb as school kids were being released for Halloween activities. They were only a few hundred yards from LeConte Medical Center and spent most of the afternoon in the same location. Due to the low amount of mast this year there have been several reports of bears roaming out of the National Park in search of food.
