Moose at the Cabin

Several weeks ago, we had visitors at the cabin. It was about 7:30 p.m. and I was reading a book. I set the book down and looked across the cabin and out our bedroom window—and saw a moose walking by!

Lynne had never seen the moose up there and so I grabbed her, whispered “MOOSE!”, (well, maybe not a whisper), and pulled her out onto the front porch, closing the door behind me. Luckily, none of the dogs knew what was going on.

It was a cow and calf headed for our salt lick. They walked so close to the cabin porch we could have reached out and touched them!

They stayed at the salt lick for a long time. The calf was not interested and explored the area, but if he got too far away, mom would call him back.

Then, they left for a while. Uuumph, Uuumph, is the noise they made. But, after about 15 minutes, they were back again!

Seeing the moose and watching them for about 1/2 hour was very exciting.
