Moose spotting, up close and personal! AND NO CAMERA AVAILABLE!

Biked 17.2 miles on the Anchorage coastal trail Tuesday, and we were 5 feet from the puniest moose I've ever seen. It had big antlers though. Apparently the city moose are tiny growers as compared to our big fat waddling butt type Willow wilderness ones. HA! In fact we saw one on our road a couple days ago, proving that bears are off to hibernate?

That would be a good thing considering we're headed to bearry picking (you like spelling?) this weekend 3 hours north near Denali Nat'l Park and at a place called Cantwell.

Side note: I've been downloading a random slough of genres of music lately. Mostly lay low, jazz, night club type feels - minus the (nowadays) night club feel though and add Sinatra type martini feel? Also, in a completely different direction Veruca Salt from the Willy Wonka sdtrk. (Danny Elfman). One of the most hilarious songs I've EVER heard!

Will do's: read RSB on drive north tomorrow, post pics (won't forget camera this time) and report the camping trip later Sunday or Monday, avoid thoughts on 5am-5pm+ duties. Next week, teacher time calls.........
