On Seward Highway - 8-1-2010

About 15 miles north of Seward, just when Donna was cooling down from her walk I saw what I thought was a moose or two in a pond beside the road. "Moose", I called out. By the time Donna looked over that way we were by them at 60 miles an hour, going downhill. I pulled into a parking lot at the bottom that was for a trailhead leading away from the pond. We couldn't see anything because of the brush and trees. Going back out on the highway I turned south and back up the hill. Then we could see two moose calves in the water and lilypads. Donna said, "There's a big one on the shore in the trees." I pulled off the road where I could get the Toyota completely off the road. Donna got out and walked down to where the roadside barricade overlooked the pond and saw the cow and two calves.

  2. Not sure why. You're probably right about eing wet. In the earlier video the calf looked lighter.
