Mark, I agree the photo of Lonesome Lake is absolutely stunning. I would have had the feeling that I didn't want to leave such a beautiful scene. Great report! Many more memorable hikes await you and Natalie. Donna:)

Rick, thanks that is an excellent idea about planking the 48; but Michael said it might hurt on some of the summit cairns. :D Chris, great job on helping to clear the trail. When we are out we try to remove some of what we see but we don't carry an ax. Phil, that was one hot day on the...

Trish, Thanks for the greenie. It was another wonderful day in the Whites for us.

Thanks Phil for the greenie. We have wanted to do the Moats for many years and finally the time was right.

Nice report. I would imagine the South Slide is similiar to coming down the Saddle Trail on Katahdin. Donna:)

Congratulations Becca! Well done. Patrick, great photos too! Donna:)

Darlene, Thanks for your concern. We also feel so bad when we see an injured moose and we have on several occasions. This was the worse though. It was a dismal ending for a great hike with new friends. One for the books!

Thanks for your concern. It was a lously way to end a fantastic hike for sure; but after hundreds of hikes in NH, this one is embedded in our minds for eternity.

Thanks Steve. Once in a lifetime is enought for us. We love to admire moose from afar.

Thanks Craig, It's seems more scary to think of what might have happened then what actually did happen. No deployment of any airbags.

Thanks for your concern, Sabrina. I think we've developed a little bit of "night driving paranoia" since the incident. Need better lighting on some of the roads. Hope we never hear of any others incidents on the forum like ours.

Thanks for your concern. We were extremely lucky to come out the way we did. We've seen many moose in our 20 years of vacationing in NH and Maine; this will be the most memorable. We too felt so bad for the moose.

Thanks for your concern! It's more scary when we think of what might of happened then to the actual inciident. We have been counting are blessings all week and will continue to do so.

Mike, Thanks for your concern. I can't give the incident a big enough WOW! It was so fast, just seconds, when the head crashed into the windshield then in a blink of the eye it was gone. Has anyone invented an anti-moose attachement for the front of one's bumper to scare those critters away...

Thanks so much Skip! Needless to say, we will be even more cautious when we drive at night in any area of the Whites. We talked with the body shop guy who is repairing the van on Friday and he told us there was a vehicle totalled on the Kanc last week. Be careful...

Thanks for your concern. We realized that we had to continue the rest of our week and had a fantastic time. We'll probably be back the end of this week to retrieve the van and hope to throw in a hike or two.

Scott, You can bet we'll never forget that night. We did stop by and see Steve on Monday afternoon after we picked up our rental. Sorry we missed you. I'm sure our paths will cross on one of our vacations.

After dealing with insurance companies, adjusters and a car rental,we felt the need to do some unfinished business by hiking Middle and North Moat mountains. We had hiked South Moat in the winter of 2010 and liked the views so much that we wanted to make a return trip to these nearby peaks...

Scary Petch, you are right. You never see it coming. Even though I did the speed limit of 45 mph it happens so fast. Newly paved road, no lights, glaring headlights coming from the opposit direction, and a dark animal in the road spells disaster no matter what. I guess having no light...

Changing Title Ed, you are correct about not being able to change the title. Mike
