This is "the one that got away".
I was driving on Hwy. 11 about 30 minutes north of North Bay (on my way to retrieve my son from Camp) when the semi I was trailing suddenly put on his fourways and slowed down. I thought he was being neighbourly and letting me pass, so I accelerated and passed...
No sooner had I got around the big truck then I noticed that scrambling up the middle of the road was very large moose, heretofore unseen as it was on the other side of a large white transport... I quickly reached for my camera phone but by the time it was ready to shoot, the moose dove for cover into the bush on the left. If the camera was better I'm sure you could still see its butt sticking out of the forest.
You can still see the scuff marks its hooves made on either side of the dividing line just infront of my car.
In anycase, this is a shot of the what the highway looks like in northern Ontario.
