I know it is true----I could tell just by the shakiness still in Karen's voice as she shared the tale.
This afternoon, Stella barked enough to bring Chuck and Karen to their front windows, where they found an enormous male moose standing in their driveway, just looking toward their house. Karen says it was huge, with a big rack and a long beard on its chin and extremely long legs.
The moose stood there long enough for Karen and Chuck to try to grab the camera and fiddle with it, as they attempted to quiet Stella and absorb the surprising sight. So, they didn't get the photo they wanted, although it doesn't sound as though they will forget the mental picture of that big moose.
In retrospect, Karen tells that they have been making applesauce this week, so had lots of peelings and cores composting behind their wood shed. Maybe the moose found an easy meal, as all the apple remnants were gone.
Wow! Wouldn't that be something to encounter, as many of us walk along Carlin Lake Road! Karen says the moose eventually wandered off toward Kolinskis, and thus, maybe down toward Van Vliet Lake. ( I gave Zach Wilson a call, remembering his interesting program about moose at our annual meeting this summer.)
Keep your eyes peeled!
