hi fuzzy600ho!!!

ha !! ha !! strange to say that,i see that as more as a sign of ''shyness ''!!

spent nearly 20 mins there within 50' and the moose never made a bad move.i wanted to get closer ,but there was a wood embankment (maybe not the right word) between us.

therewas 2 more on the other side of the road.

if you at post 1124 ,pics 5 and 7 .i was at the bottom of the road.moose was on the right .my camp is 1 mile on the right in straight line.

post 1131,pic 7, i was right where you see the snow on the road,at the bottom of the hill.camp is 1 mile behind the 4w.

almost a miracle ,sunny a bit !!

I may be wrong, but when the ears are back I thought they where looking for a belly rub.

hi jackstraw !!

if you want to volunteer ,no problems. :lol:

back in the 80's ,i went with some friends camping at ''etang a truite '' on park matane .there s many natural mud holes for mooses there.

so at 4 am ,we were at the ''hole '' sitting in a tree stand waiting to see mooses.tired to wait ,me and a friend went directly in the hole.there s a specific place where they drink water .suddently female arrived .she was drinking water about 3' from us.great time for a ''belly rub ''.spent 2 hrs in the hole.great experience !!

trail 595 must be less than 20/25 miles east of etang a truite.can t remember exactly ,i have nt been in that area in many years.

at the ''41 miles '',if you go straight ,about 25 miles for the faribault camp.

if you turn right ,about 30 miles from la cache.

i made a ''special du chef '' today !!ha !! ha !!

i went toward l'alverne .according to the signage and mileage , i probably turned around 8-9 miles from l alverne.

first 2 pics ,where i turned around .on the second pic ,i turned to the right for a few 100' ,but too much snow.i guess it s a brand new clearcut from last winter.

from the pic with the sign ''st andré '',very narrow for the next 4 miles.not much room to meet the groomer til the sign l alverne 38 km.

the lake ,is lake dubé .trail is right in front .

all pics on the way back!!
