Larry and I had a blast hiking up to Albion Basin last Friday evening. The gate was locked to the road that you can usually ride up to the Basin so we had to hike from the regular road to the top the the ski lift area. In the process, we turned a corner around some trees and found a moose sitting in the grass. He was about 30 feet away. We were surprised and hoped he wasn't going to charge toward us. We quicklly walked away up the hill. A short time later, we noticed the moose's daddy just to the right of us as we were asending the mountain near the dropoff for the skiers. We hoped and pray he wouldn't get any ideas for his dinner. We again quickly zoomed up the hill. On top, we saw several marmots. We plunked down on some boulders and enjoyed the beautiful basin full of many colors of flowers. We noticed several deer in the distance. We saw a few people but were pretty much alone most of the time because the gate was locked down below. The sun started setting so we scurried down the mountain waving goodbye to the two moose from a dirt road. We had fun at Lizzy's party for Jason and grateful for his 24 years of life. Have a great week. Love you. Mom xoxoxox
