TWO UNEXPECTED
VISITORS
This summer I went on many boat
rides, either to pick berries, go rod and reeling, or just to get
away from the chaos of my family and friends.
During one of the many fishing trips
I went on with my uncle Roy, Gail, Aaron, Scott, and Baby Art, we ran
into two unexpected visitors right above Marshall.
One nice evening I got a call from my
Uncle Roy telling me they were getting ready to go up the river to
Kuik to fish. So, as usual, I hurriedly and gladly got ready and then
met them at the boat.
After Gail and the boys settled
themselves in the boat and Roy got the engine running, I pushed out
the boat, thinking this would be another one of the same old trips
where we would see nothing but birds. I hoped though we would see
something more.
After heading up the river a little
ways past the airport and Wilson Slough, I got what I was hoping for.
Across from the island that is above Wilson Slough, we spotted two
moose, a cow and her young bull calf.
Boy, was I ever excited! That was the
first time ever that I saw moose that close. I mean I've seen moose
from far away and dead moose, but never that close. WOW!
Oh, of course, mischief little Baby
Art was scared. He kept telling me he thought the moose was going to
eat him. And I must admit, I was a little afraid too when we went
closer to the animal, but I was also very excited.
When we first saw them, they were
running along the edge of the beach. Then they ran into the water. It
was so cool to see them swimming. Then the cow ran up the beach and
into the trees. The bull kept swimming upriver then it turned around
and swam downriver. We went right up to the moose and I felt as if I
could just reach out and touch it but, of course, I was scared, and
it really wasn't as close as it seemed.
Finally the young bull swam to shore,
quickly got out of the water and ran up the beach and into the trees
in search of his mother.
When the excitement wore off we
continued our trip upriver to Kuik. After an evening of catching some
pike we decided to come back home. We had a very rough ride home
because the wind picked up and the waves were very big, but it was
also a lot of fun.
