Here is a picture of Moose Lake that I managed to take on our cycle from T Jaune to Jasper.
It’s a nice picture of a frozen Moose Lake and the reason I include it is because it’s the only picture of a Moose I am allowed to take.
As we cycled near Jasper we were flying down a hill when Susan shouted ‘there’s a moose’. Sure enough on the other side of the road stood a huge beast. Immediately, I started braking. ‘No no no, don’t stop’ shouted Susan. ‘He doesn’t like his photo taken’. ‘What???’ ‘I read it in a leaflet, he doesn’t like his photo taken’ she shouted again with more urgency in her voice (note: Susan thinks I’m the kind of idiot who would stop and take a picture of a Moose). So here we are hurtling down the hill, I want to stop and my wife and advisor of 29 years is urging me not to. Thankfully, I didn’t have time to make the wrong choice because before I knew it we were another 400m down the hill and there was no way I was going to stop and go back up the hill.
Susan and I have since discussed the issue. It now appears that I am not allowed to stop and take pictures of either mooses or bears. What a spoilsport.
