Bull Moose at Moose Junction

After lunch, we decided we would ride over to Jenny Lake and Moose Junction. We had good luck last year seeing moose at Moose Junction, although the moose were always in the shrubs. Since we have been here, the views have been a good bit hazy because of wildfires in this state and surrounding states. Still, the views are spectacular. As we were approaching Moose Junction, we saw a crowd on the bridge looking at the opposite side where we saw all the moose last year. There was a spectacular bull moose in plain view. Phil let me out while he went to get a parking spot. Wow, what a blessing it was to see that bull moose! After he parked and joined me, and I got loads of photos, we went right around the corner of the bridge to Dornan's and ate a Greek salad and pizza. Helen and Mike like to eat there and recommended it to us. The view was awesome, but we like Leek's Marina pizza and Greek salad better (although Dornan's was good, too). Leek's Marina Pizzeria closed Sept. 5 for the season. Then we came back to the camper and built a campfire, a perfect end to the day. A few days ago, we got a nice stack of firewood left at one of the group campsites, which we have put to good use. We hate to spend money on firewood, so our campfires have not happened until recently. We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Phil had two really good back days, and then yesterday was problematic, as was today. The back is unpredictable and will definitely need attention when we get home!
