Our first moose!
This was our last long hiking day (8 miles) to Windigo. My feet were beat and hurt starting in the morning-it was going to be a long walk, plus it was a cold day. Our very first moose sighting came at 9am Ethan ran up to camp and said there was a bull by the lake drinking. He stood for the camera for about 5 minutes. Once he took off he disappeared into the woods quickly. The last 8 miles only took from 10- 2:30 - of course the boys got in before us again.When we went to the museum the ranger handed us a bag of food Bill had left in case the boys needed more :) It was a slow day -all of the shelters were open so we didn't need to set up tents.
I spent the day wandering around looking for strawberries but couldn't find any ripe here. This night I saw our 2nd moose - a cow eating weeds in the lake waters.
It turns out moose don
't sleep at night -they were eating all night long in the river that ran in front of the Adirondack shelters. If it wasn't so bloody cold at night I might have gone out to take a look with the flashlight, but nothing, not even 100 moose would have removed me from my sleeping bag. BRRR.
