Moose On The Trail!

While out running this morning I ran up on a moose! Not literally. I saw him before I stepped on him. Actually it was probably a good thing I saw him eating his breakfast fifty yards from me on the trail and that I didn't have to cross directly in front of or behind him. There was a side trail near by that I was able to skirt up and around him....putting a few trees between him and I. It was a little scary....well at least I had scary thoughts. :) My coworker Matt once told me a story about a friend of his that got charged by a moose...not once...but twice in the same day. As I ran on the upper trail and looked at the moose through the trees I prayed he was content with his breakfast and that he wouldn't charge me. My prayer was answered. That moose continued to eat and I got back to my car in one piece this morning. :)
