I told you all that we saw more moose yesterday. I do believe this is the most moose we have seen in one trip – the count now is at 6. We did not get photos of all of them but the 2 that were only 5 minutes from the campground we did. I took photos with my camera and zoomed in as close as I could with my Nikon Cool Pix this is the result:
One of the moose:
Two moose:
Mike has a Pentax K10D with a telephoto lens – these are what he got:
One of the big guys – they were quite a way from us:
The other guy:

And another one:
Today the 20th is our last full day here in the Grand Teton’s. We are going to be driving around the park a bit looking at things. Tomorrow we are moving over into Idaho. Right now we plan on camping two days at Idaho Falls. We used to live there years ago and want to look over all the old places we used to see. When Mike was in the Navy he was stationed there working out in the middle of the sage brush desert at a nuclear training center for the navy two different times. The navy does not train out there anymore but back in the 70’s there were a lot of navy families living there and in another town called Arco. We lived in Idaho Falls two different times renting and then the last time we were there we bought a house in Arco and lived there for 3 years. We moved from there to Arkansas in 1980 when Mike got out of the navy.

I’ve been following your photo-journal, and cannot wait until each update. This update is the best so far…I love moose!!! My family and I have been contemplating a move out west, and your blog is really inspring me to make that move. Your photos are beautiful, and it sounds like you’re really having a wonderful trip. Keep the photos coming!! Can’t wait to see what’s new each day!
I have a good friend from Missouri who moved to Arco a few years ago, what a small world!

Can’t wait to show the moose pictures to my husband. The panorama is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your vacation with all of us at home.
Rich and I just finished looking at your marvelous moose pictures. Wonderful pictures, Mike! Keep them coming, as we are really enjoying this vacation. Have fun sightseeing at all your old familiar places in Idaho.
Boy, am I glad Mike got that new lens. *L* What great pics!!
Shouldn’t that be “meeses?” *S* They are really beautiful, but I
wouldn’t want one charging me.
My folks and I took a tram up a mountain in CO years ago. Altho, now that I think of it, that was a ski lift, and we sat only two on each lift. Kinda scarier.

Those Moose/Meese remind me of the series on tv “Northern Exposure” supposedly filmed in Alaska but actually filmed in a town in Washington state that started off with the moose walking through the town – I fell in love with the big ugly creature right then and there! These are great photos of them!! Teri
