Family piece in the NYT on bringing kids to NH to see moose

I saw a moose on my very first AMC trip to the Whites. We pulled in late in the evening before hiking up to Imp Shelter for the night. Saw a moose on Rte. 16 somewhere past Nineteen Mile Brook Trail (it was all foreign to me at the time).

Seemed pretty cool! Drive up to New Hampshire, see a moose.

Didn't realize that wasn't a routine occurrence. After all these years, I've still only seen moose probably a dozen times or less. Always happy, and frankly, dazzled at those huge creatures, when I do.

They tend to be "annoying household pests" on occasion in my neighborhood. On the other hand there are sometimes when it would be hard to find one if I needed to.

Better hurry before they're gone! I ran into one while riding my horse 3 yrs ago. The horse went one way and I went the other, fracturing my hip. It had a nice rack though....
