| Moose # 13,14,15 in a
group in the swamp next to Tuesdays breakfast site |
| Moose #16: We came ashore to examine moose tracks. While David was off in the brush following tracks, a large bull splashed slowly across the waters edge and peered at me, but something shifted in the canoe and made a noise and the wary bull then disappeared into the brush....but..... |
 |
 |
| Moose # 16 We got back in the canoe
and paddled up stream to find the large bull. |
He crosses the stream ahead of us |
 |
 |
| # 16 Heading for the woods |
Moose #16: He went into the
woods, came back out 50 yards upstream to see if we were still there and then disappeared again. |
 |
 |
| Moose # 17: Back at camp going to wash up at the lake but # 17 was peering at me from 25 yards out in the lake . | Moose # 17 coming up after
diving for bottom grass |

| As we packed the canoe, another moose ( perhaps #17 again) could be seen in the background. |
| The return trip against midday winds required making a spray shield for the canoe with duct tape to make the bow water proof as the bow went under some of the waves.... bailing bow and stern, landing to bail out 4 inches of water, hitting a rock and breaking a sheer pin on the propellor shaft and whew !!
