Miss Moose

























Today we went up the Gunflint Trail in search of the cow moose with twin calves that seemingly everyone who has driven up the trail in the past month has seen.  Unfortunately, we did not see them.  I think maybe if the weather had cooperated and it had been nice instead of a torrential downpour we would have been more likely to see them.  Oh well, you take what you can get.  Luckily we did see another cow moose further up the trail and had the pleasure of watching her eating in a small marsh right next to the road.  She hung out in the marsh for a long time and it sure was fun watching her from less than 50 feet away.  Every time she dunked her head under water she would root around for some plants then come up and shake her head off.  It was quite a comical sight I must say :-)
