Moose blocks path

Hahaha. Moose overload. Only in AK could this happen. Dominik and I were cruising around town on the snow machine and decided to fly down a skinny little bike path along the expressway. We come around a corner and are face to face with a young moose! We stopped and tried to figure out what to do. The moose wasn't giving us any space and didn't seem afraid at all.......it was the same one that stomped our broom! We figured mama had to be right around there and mama moose are known to be very protective so we were a little concerned. To make it even worse, a local drunk was stumbling up the path from the other direction and collapsing the space that the moose had between us. Ahhh!

With a mild panic I turned our heavy machine around in a space that I'm absolutely certain was narrower than the length of our machine and we got the hell out of there. We hung out below the young moose on the slough and watched to see what the drunk woud do. This guy was DRUNK! Would he actually try to wak by? Would he turn around? Would he try to make love to the moose? Hey, the guy was DRUNK. From our vantage point we saw mama and now the drunk was between mama and baby. Mama's ears went back and she began walking toward them. We heard some yelling and then mama seemed to relax. I think the drunk pissed his pants and dove onto the expressway. We decided to drive away quickly before we put ourselves into the hopeless good samaritan scenario. What was I going to do? Leave Dominik on the snow machine and go toe to toe with a mama moose over some damn drunk? An easy ethical dilemna. Never a dull moment around here!!
