Squirrels, Birds and Porkypines
We saw a respectable amount of animals on the trip, mainly on the second day of biking although on the third day this redneck swore he'd seen a white moose. Color us very very skeptical but if you see it on the news we've seen the actual video. Looked like it was probably light gray or light brown but in the bright sunlight they mistook it for white. My favorite two were this porcupine that I saw as I was shuttling the truck on the second day of riding. Saw the tree move and hit the brakes. Poor little dude didn't know what to do so eventually climbed down but pretty good show in the mean time.
When we had lunch this young little squirrel came a knocking. He was a lot more skittish when it was just me and the truck. I followed him around a bit but he stayed in his holes. Once the food came out though it was time to strut his stuff. Such a cutie (to most folks except Emily who's anti-rodent).
Finally saw this little tweety bird at our camp that night. Back in the trees camped out around mile 104 or so the birds were pretty vocal all night long. So, that was pretty nice in the evening once we were just hanging out.
