Cabin fever hit us hard today. Lin decided that going for a drive up the "Trail" might help us break out of our winter routines. We were very surprise to actually see two moose wandering along the edge of the road.
They were very thin and have already starting to shed their winter coats. While we have managed to put on winter fat the moose have lost their fat and their coats are dull and shaggy.
The nice thing about looking for moose in the winter is that they really stand out against a snow background. It also helps that they are often found on the roadway looking for salt. We watched the moose in the picture on the left go about 10 feet off the roadway before it started eating snow. It probably was eating salt before we came upon it.
