We were honored by the presence of a moose the other day as we drove down to Horseshoe Lake. It was an unexpected treat to see the ungainly looking animal. We spotted the moose browsing on brush beside the road and we slowed to take a look. The moose stopped his eating to take a look at us, then hoofed it across the road in front of us and continued browsing on the other side of the road.
It was still there as we drove home after completing our walk. There has been a big decline in the moose population in interior of BC. Luckily, we still occasionally spot them. Although I didn’t see it, only the tracks left in the snow, we had a moose hanging around at the far end of our pond for a couple of weeks.

We have traveled in the U.P. of Michigan and through Ontario. We finally just joked that there really weren't any moose it was just a story everyone told. Because we didn't see any on all our miles of traveling.
