Steve went cross-country skiing this morning. He decided to go on the trail that is about 1/4 mile from our house. He made it about 2 miles on the trail, and almost (literally) ran into a mama moose and her calf. They were standing in the river eating berries off of the trees.
This is not a great situation. You really don't want to be that close to moose, especially a mama and her calf. So Steve carefully popped off his skis and slowly backed away. The moose watched him, not doing anything but staring and chewing, until Steve was a good 30 feet away. At that point, the moose crossed the trail and walked to the other side. Steve put on his skis, and bolted the heck out of there.
2 more moose spotted, but this time a bit too close for comfort.
