As things stand now, T'Bay is the destination of choice for our next year's Vacation. So with any luck, I'll get to grab a shot or two of the area's infamous wild life. (You, Bob & Tom) <Big Grin>

Thanks, Kevin. Might take you up on the offer of the B&B in a few years. Alaska is one of the places I definitely want to visit when I retire.

Sheesh! These guys probably are the cause of my hair loss.

Kevin and I were driving back late at night from Bonavista to St. John's in Newfoundland and it was a nightmare scanning both sides of the road looking out for a moose. One did jump out at us and it sure scared the both of us.

[Keith]

LOL!!!!!!! I think I have a shot of the identical moose, LOL

Saw several moose after dark while traveling around that province. Also got to enjoy eating moose several times while there. Came to the conclusion I'd rather eat the beast than run into it at night. <Big Grin>

Funny thing is as we came around the turn for a moment I thought it was real. It is full size. Was wondering what it was doing near the ocean shore. <scratching head>

Okay, is this for real? After that gullfisher thread, I'm not so sure I can believe you guys any more :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

In any case, I like this, Gene!
