The trash cans in the Smoky Mountains National Parks are all bear proof. The surrounding towns of the Smokies get the bears that are more adventurous because we don't have the bear proof cans. We don't see too many bears but we have had several black bears running around our town. Some have been near the schools and just recently we had one adult black bear that liked the McDonald's trash cans. He was having quite a feast.

Oh, yes! I recognize that style of "bear proof" can. My former home is Juneau, Alaska, and all of the downtown containers are like these. The bears (blackies, for the most part) run all over town in the summer.
Great and my sister is moving to Anchorage this summer. I'm sure she will get more personal with these cans too.
