Hi All,
We spent our first two hours managing a moose jam on a narrow road with few places to pull off. Carl managed the traffic while Sandy ensured visitors didn't get too close and answered questions. It was really great fun, with enthusiastic and cooperative visitors excited to see this beautiful bull moose.
One woman exclaimed,"This is the highlight of our trip" and a German visitor was enthralled, this was the first moose he had ever seen.
The jam ended when the moose wandered into the brush to escape the mid day sun.
We then went to the Rockefeller Preserve and hiked to Phellps Lake. Along the way we talked to visitors about wildlife, bear safety and wildflowers.
Lake Creek tumbles over this lovely cascade.
Once at the lake, we ate lunch with this view
and this view!
This is one of the flowers we were unsure about. Later research determined it is a "sticky geranium".
It was a wonderful day. We realize that it will be more hectic later in the season buy so far we would pay the Park Service to let us do this!
Love,
Sandy & Carl
