OMG!! We go 50 feet away from wild moose!!
So Justin and I went down to this part of town that is a little ways out town but still really close to town, closer then 2 mile. We were walking into an undeveloped neighborhood and we saw all these Moose tracks in one area. So Justin and I decided that maybe we should go into the forest to see if there were any moose however we got kinda freaked out because there were little moose prints and then adult moose prints so we knew that it was probably a momma and her babies. Since Moose cause so many deaths here in Alaska we really didn't want to risk it so we left the forest and went back out. Well while we were looking around we decided that maybe we should sit down and wait to see if anything came out of the forest. So we sat on the ground and threw dirt clods and talked for like 45 mins. Well as we were sitting there dieing laughing a baby moose came walking out of the forest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then ANOTHER BABY CAME WALKING OUT! We both stopped laughing and just stared at them, we couldn't beleave it! We sat there takeing pictures and then the momma walked out of the forest and looked dead at us. She continued to walk on and she was fine with us. You could tel by there body language that they were ok with us being there .We both feel like they had been watching us for awhile and didn't mind us. The babies got a little too curiouse about us so we decided we needed to move before it became a dangerouse situation. So I slowly got up and then Justin did. We walked away and the moose didn't even care! It was so amazing.
