More Moose Spotting - July 10, 2010

Later today we headed out to check out a drive that had been recommended to us. Down a road called "Funny River Road" we were assured we'd see moose and maybe bear. The paved road is 18 miles long through wooded areas near the Kenai River. The Funny River is a tributary to the Kenai and we passed over it on our way out and back.
Near the beginning of the road is the Soldatna Airport. Many small planes were parked there, we didn't see any take off or land. Anyway, we were on moose and bear watch, traveling slow and letting other traffic pass. We went by a golf course, strange to see the open fairways after all the tree covered territory we've been through.
At the end of Funny River Road another dirt road lead even further back. Ernie was checking on is blackberry for a map and saw many subdivisions marked by roads on either side. We couldn't see them from the road except for the intersecting roads with ours.
Turning around we started back to Soldatna and by a low spot on the side I saw a moose, another cow. She stayed behind a clump of short tyrees and bushes so we couldn't record this spotting.
