Bruce the Moose, Rt 49-Waterville Valley

[fatlazyless]

Wednesday evening about 7-pm, Rt 49, Nov 4: looked like Bruce the Moose and a 25-year old big white Ford pickup truck had a get-together on the long straight flat section about a mile down below Hardy Hill.

There had to be five different police cars and fire trucks at the scene .... probably from Waterville Valley, Thornton and Campton.

Did not actually see a dead moose but this is my sense on what happened, there. Like, what else could it be but a moose-vehicle collision because the moose are partial to the good green grass over there, or something, like the road just got rock salted on the Tuesday snow, and they will cross the road to get to the river for a sip of water. The moose around here always look like they have a big smile expression on their face ...... so very smiley.

Who knows ...... it may well be that it was a hit & run ...... with the moose running out and making a hit on that big white pickup, and then running off back to the forest without providing its insurance info? These moose will do that!
