Mystical Moose of Mt. Washington

I have always dreamed that Mt. Washington was protected by some magical force, or creature. Maybe that's why I came up with the story  Minders of the Mountain. A group of people who hold powers and dedicate most of their lives protecting Mt. Washington from great evil. But when I started writing my book, I found this picture at a yard sale of a moose on top of Mt. Washington. I didn't know a moose could travel so high up or want to go that high away from the protection of the trees.

 I was so amazed by this picture that I placed it up in my bedroom. You can see how high the moose is up, I swear this picture was taken right out from my story, when Sara and Joey come across the Mystical moose on Mt. Washington. Its so beautiful. And if you look closely you can see the AMC Lake of the Clouds Hut behind it in the picture. Here is a closer look:

 Now, I have encountered a  Moose and her young on the trail before but it was much lower and in the thick of the trees. I can't image meeting a moose this high up on the trails. Have you ever come across a moose this high up? What was it like if you did? I would love to hear people's story here or through my twitter feed :)

Happy Hiking!
