Thursday, August 16, 2007 R and R day the last the R and R days(should have been fishing, but lack of leeches) most of the day, just your standard hanging around camp day, until near dinner time. Henry and Matthew were napping, I was changing out of my swimsuit and Scott and Mare were as well. Nathan was just hanging by the fire pit relaxing like ya should, then I hear "Dad, get your camera, theres a moose in camp" grabbing my camera, I run out and Nathan points into the woods 20 yards away, a bull moose strolling through the brush to the lake. He splashes into the lake and I wake Matthew on my way by his tent, grabbing cameras we follow a nice looking bull moose to the lake, snapping pictures like crazy, the moose looks at us as to say, "so what ya gonna do??" we didn't get closer than 20 yards or so from the moose, but judging from the foot prints, Nathan had a view from no more than 8-10 yards as the moose strolled through the camp......what a thrill!!!! we watch him as he casually strolls across the shallows to the other side and disappears. guess what we talked about the rest of the day
