Because the temperatures predicted for today were in the 90's and because we can, we decided to take another day to play in the high country. Still wanting to explore more of uncharted territory for us, we loaded the crew up and packed a lunch for a day trip. Near Rob Roy Reservoir, we drove up a dirt road and noted several really good camping spots. As we rounded a curve we encountered these two bull Moose leisurely having their breakfast or brunch...maybe their coffee break. I threw a picnic lunch together and water for the dogs in the truck this morning along with the camera, but forgot exactly where the camera was at first. By the time I remembered where it was, these two were starting to move. We did get some great shots as they lumbered across the road in front of us..totally ignoring us and in no hurry to get away! This alone made the trip worthwhile.
We stopped to let the dogs play and had our lunch in the shade of the trees and continued our adventure. It was uneventful after that, but I marvel at the beauty of the mountain countryside and always find it relaxing and peaceful...the calm before the storm. With a little nip in the air in the early morn and with the children all going back to school, it reminds me that the snow storms will be here before we know and I will be longing for another walk in the woods.
