With Linda in the Bay Area with her grand kids, Larry, Arlyene and I decided to run up to Schweitzer Mountain for an afternoon hike. We chose the same hike Arlyene and I took last year where we were lucky enough to see a moose on the trail. This year the three of us passed the spot uneventfully but later, on a lower portion of the trail another moose came crashing out of the forest right onto our path. She started to run off but stopped to study us just long enough to snap a picture which gave us some concern that she might have had a calf with her. In that case our presence could have been a real problem. She eventually continued on down the mountain and we were able to continue on our way. It was in the low 90's even at that higher elevation and I don't think any of the three of us could have moved out of the way very fast.
So we are getting spoiled. Two for two.
