Moose on the Loose In California

Well posts have been a bit of sporadic out here but my wife and I were on the road in California. In 9 days we covered just shy of 2000 miles around the great state of California. I was a bit surprised how much I enjoyed my time out there. We toured Joshua Tree National Park, Sequoia NP, Kings Canyon NP and Yosemite NP.

I broke in a new Canon Rebel Digital SLR and I’m very pleased with how my photos turned out. I shot about 1000 photos so here are a few samples.

I have many more to catalog and upload so there will be additional photos in the future. Wildlife is one of my favorite things to shoot; we

saw some Mule Deer Bucks but they were quicker then me so I got no photos of them. A search for Big Horns was not successful but I did stumble across some elk but once again the big bulls were not to be found.

Our National Parks are a treasure and everyone should get out and see them. The conditions of the facilities at some parks are a pure shame. The budgets of the Parks appear to be cut to the bone. In my view additional fees should be collected at the parks to let users cover these parks. Some Parks are over run with excessive animals that allowing hunters to buy tags for these animals rather then hiring sharpshooters would seem to me to put more money in the coffers for these parks. The beauty of these places are unbelievable and I hope this is not the generation that squanders away what has been entrusted to us.
