Today my head was in the clouds.
Actually all of me, plus the coach, the yellow peril, the campsite, in fact the whole world was in a cloud. And it sat on top of us all piggin’ day. I have decided never to commit a crime which would land me in jail, coz I would go stir crazy very quickly!
Not much happened today, obviously, except that I had some very nice home made clam chowder, courtesy of Owner Brenda, lovingly prepared, so I am told, with the clams that I digged up the other day. It was delish.
So, come 9.30 in the pm, I trogged off on my now habitual Oil Well Road moose safari.
Nothing going east on the road, as usual, but coming back I did see two mooses, about 200 yards away, heading towards some trees, which abutted the road. So, master hunter and stalker that I have become, I stopped the peril opposite the trees, turned off the engine, opened the window, anointed myself with bug spray, and waited for them to appear right where I knew they would. And waited, and waited and waited. And eventually……………nothing. I heard all sorts of noises, snorting and grunting and bushes movements ( Is that anything to do with our president?) but absolutely not a thing was forthcoming.
So, dejected, disheartened and as miserable as an Astros fan, I called it a day and drove to the main road. Not a mile further on, munching away on the left side of the road, a fully growed Mrs. Moose! So, I took a few pix, but it was almost dark, so I turned off the camera and sat and watched. A few vehicles went roaring past, and she flinched nervously a couple of times, but nothing was going to deter her from supper.
A delightfully pleasant and rewarding end to a miserable day.
I also saw a fishing boat charter company named “Afishunt Charters”
Some are pathetic, aren’t they?
Wildlife watch today was the aforementioned mooses, and two bald eagles, early on, flying low over the campsite.
