Think Big

Think Big
This photo was taken just inside Algonquin Park. We were rdriving from the east toward Huntsville. It was late spring. Road salt attracted many moose to the edges of the main road. Many moose that day. Some ambled across the road in front of us. I had just bought a moose key chain. On the back it read, “ Among the largest animals in the northern hemisphere weighing 1000-1500 lbs.” Two of our sighted moose that day were huge. They towered over our little car as they passed by us. Think big, really big. No racks at this time but still
enormous animals.

Norway is moose country for every kilometres there are road signs warning you of moose. I know for two of my daughters and I drove north from Oslo to Trondheim.
Moose wander through my cousin Erling’s place in Asker just outside of Oslo. His son Erick told the sad tale of a high scool girl friend who was given a sports Saab on graduation. She took a spin and hit a giant bull moose. The big animal , antlers and all, crashed her windshield killing her. He warned us to be alert. We were and the trip was made safely. That was as close to a moose we came except our cousin served us a delicious moose meal when we returned. I had big servings.
