It looks like you had a very nice journey down The Minong Trail. The pre-leaf season has several unique advantages.

But really? After inadvertently following a moose trail you "covered the moose trail with sticks and downed shrubs so others wouldn't follow"?

Do have any idea how many moose are wandering around now, lost, not able to find their way? :shock: :oops:

Good point, but I hope those moose appreciate my efforts. I sent them on a much more scenic route. I also hope they figure out to follow the pink ribbons in the fire-damaged area.
