I think I would have peed in my pants and fainted if I was being chased by a moose! A couple of years ago we were hiking in our neighborhood conservation trails when I heard a weird animal noise. There have been black bear sightings in Concord, mostly in the early morning, so I think this must have been on my mind, even though it was almost dusk. I ran like h*** back to the car.
Lisa, you can be assured I was not snowboarding! I used my poles to run down that mountain and it helped. It also might have been that the ascent was really steep in a very short time and I was struggling. I was happy to get down.
It's 8 AM and already 40 out!!
