Where are the moose?
Book Excerpt
Have you ever seen a moose hit a car or the other way around? Travelled to Maine & NH to see if things like that actually happen, with not much luck. Why the tempting road signs then?
Author's Insight
So I took out the car and started driving north in search of the Moose. I have done this before many times but this trip was going to be different. This was the trip to find the beast corner it and take pictures. This was a trip that would leave no state untouched be it in the US or Canada to catch this elusive creature.
The driving was long and arduous but very picturesque..Drove to Portland, Maine and saw the Casco Bay and some road signs demanding attention to Moose on the road.I followed the trail and ended up in Hopewell rocks in New Brunswick. Beautiful tidal ebb and flow but no Moose. I found myself breaking into the popular song where have all the moose gone. Moose, Cowboys both elusive creatures in the north. Should I have looked for Moose in Texas?
I drove all through Nova Scotia. Halifax, Cape Breton, even went to PEI. There was a huge confederation bridge (wonder why we do not have one between Long Island, NY and Connecticut) but no Moose. Saw some foxes and beautiful farmland and breathtaking coastlines but no Moose. Miles and miles of potential moose sightings but no Moose. At this point, disappointed, I turned my car and drove back. The whole trip was 3000 miles but not a Moose to show for the efforts.
I have a request for the moose authorities who put up the road signs..put a sign..Moose is here. Tie a Moose or two to a tree with a long rope next to the highway where people like me can appreciate them and we do not put wasted trips to the back of beyond.
Ps - If any of you have a real moose photo can you share; else, I will put this animal in the extinct list like the Trex. In addition, please no zoo moose only the real deal. Also, moose ice cream and chocolate mousse does not count.
