Saturday, August 18, 2007 The final day perhaps you can relate........if not good, if so, I am sorry. Matthew is anxious to get going that day, so before the sun is even up, I am awakened by a yell of "GET UP" so loud I think it discouraged the sun from getting up for another half hour. so to get my revenge, I pack just as slowly as humanly possible. after getting all packed up we head for the landing, where if memory serves is just an easy paddle up the Nina Moose River (my memory didn't serve at all) beaver dam, beaver dam, beaver, dam, beaver dam, etc, etc.....9 in all I think, followed by a river about 4 inches deep.(when is beaver hunting season??) The good news is, coming around a corner Nathan and I stumble upon a mama and baby moose in for a drink......again AWESOME to see a daddy, mama, and baby moose all in the same trip I will count myself lucky forever after grabbing a couple pictures we patiently wait for them to get their drink and move on. back to the cars and reality

this trip will long be remembered for many things on the fishing scale it was a 1 on the sightseeing and R and R scale a 10 on wildlife scale it is an 11
