| It was a dark and stormy night - oops afternoon | So instead of going on mud roads we started by heading to Beaver Mountain ski lodge and ate ribs - yum! | With us were a dozen Russians on an training visit - all dairy operation folk |
|
|
|
|
| Plan A was for the "Jeep Ride" to head to Bear Lake Overlook, then turn around and go to Tony Grove. THEY did. | But we took Plan B and headed North from Bear Lake up to St Charles Idaho | Our guides, Mike and Twila Bridges knew the territory - and promised Moose sightings! |
|
|
|
|
| We had rain, some hail and some sleet as we headed up St. Charles Canyon | I didn't get a pix of the mountain lion that streaked across the road - too fast! | It was really quite eerie as the mist rose from the mountain. |
|
|
|
|
| Eerie but lovely | Just a bit of color | and lots of mist |
|
|

|
We reached the gate to Minnetonka and had to stop and get out - to see the MOOSE! |
Enlarge the pix and look for dark dots in the middle. They be Moose! |
Meanwhile the mist kept rising. |

A Lovely valley |
So we sat goodbye to the dots called moose - clearly visible in this one - and head down the road. Then all of a sudden.... |
MOOSE in the road - at 30 feet away! |

Yup two of them up close and personal! Don't forget to click on the thumbnail above |
Returning to Bear Lake we are greeted by a rainbow - what a day! | A shot or two from the overlook of Bear Lake to say goodbye |

Good bye for now |
Back to join the others at the Copper Mill and a dinner with the Russians | A tribute from Alex and a fine time was had by all! |
Thanks to Mike and Twila Bridges, our guides and drivers
