Do you see many moose in the water? There’s a pond near my camp where they like to eat some sort of plant, like a lily pad, all you see is their head sticking up.

bonsoir scorpionbowl !!!

 

last time i saw a moose in the water...the year we built the camp...back in 08....friend offered me his cabin at the lake for the summer to spend time in the woods...it was in september ...

he came in the yard ....while i was having a coffee before going to work on my camp...jumped in the lake and landed in the yard of the neighbor...

there s big swamps in front of my camp....been there only 1x ,back in june....many little lakes there with stuff for moose to eat ...

i don t spend time waiting for moose....i have no patience...and while im waiting ...im not riding....but good spot to see a few ....

the problem ....they can hear you coming from far away ...i walked so much in those swamps back in the 90's...i slowed down tons

tons of deer and black flies ...

Ya you get up way too early!

You might be surprised, from what I hear they ride amazingly smooth.  Have to if someone is going to sit in it for 10-12hrs

bonsoir nshm !!!

 

sadly no....like i said somewhere else....i did my share of volunteering in the past 20 years and the last 3 seasons has been rough if i can say that ...

maybe taking pics kept me grooming for the last 3 seasons....

.

still strong winds today ....with a bit of rain....colder than yesterday...

 

for smclelan....read last night ........alexander murray climbed mt albert for the first time.....175 years ago !!!
