Moose Baby

The big pass we were concerned about turned out to be a breeze. It was cold when we left the lodge this morning, but warmer than Jackson. Along with our heisted bagels and peanut butter with honey, we started up the hill at 10. By noon we were on top, and sailing down the east side of the pass to DuBois. This is wild country, with not much population, so animals are everywhere. While looking for elk we might hit going 30mph, we spotted a moose with her baby about 20 yards off the road. Took some pics, but I can't post them now because I'm on the motel owner's computer. She likes me. Does anyone know the name of a baby moose? Is it cub, fawn, colt, gosling? Tomorrow we decided to go to Lander, because of logistics, and take the southern route to Casper. The bike computer is on the blink, so we don't really know our average speed, we estimate about 12mph overall. It's a 75 mile ride tomorrow, we're hoping for tailwinds. Got rained on again today, but just a spittin'. I gotta go, the owner's dogs are getting real friendly, and one of them is a great dane. Big and black. Happy birthday Russ, always good to talk to you.
