Saw a MOOSE up close and personal
At mile 11.9 of the Fraiser Stage (stage 2) a young moose ran down the dark hillside and jumped from a snowy bank onto the road about 150 feet in front of our car going 34mph. I saw him and hoped he would clear the road quickly, but like a moose, he hit the icy road and fell with all 4 legs seeming splaying out in different directions as he slid. But he quickly got up and continued and we were able to drive around him....

Sorry about missing you at send off....Paul I owe you dinner(didnt sent an alarm)
Hmmmnn if there is more than one goose it is geese so... if you had seen more than one moose then it would be meese. Just a little something to ponder on those long long stages.
not sure if you had heard but Derek Ringer is co-driving for Travis at 100AW and prob Olympus....now I need to find another co-driver........ Derek said I was too fast for him the only other person faster than me was mighty Colin himself...well that is what he said.
