While visiting with some folks at Triple Divide Pass, I was told about a bull moose that had been hanging out at the head of Red Eagle LakeÉ where I was going to be camping. I was excited, but wild animals are unpredictable and who knows what you'll actually end up with. I rolled into camp with not much time before it got dark and hustled down to the edge of the lake to rinse the sweat off my body and filter water for dinner. I walked up to the edge of the muddy-bottomed water and tried to figure out my rinsing off strategy. After coming up with my procedure, I removed my shirt and heard a rumble that I'd never heard before. It was like a growl from an enormous animal without the anger. I looked up to see a huge bull moose emerge from the woods to get into the lake. I put my shirt on and scampered back to camp to get my camera, tripod and all of the other campers. We watched him until it got dark as he primarily fed on the bottom of the lake. More information of Bramante's project is available online at www.hike734.com</p>
