Our drive from Ben and Jerry's into New Hampshire was actually more entertaining than one might think. We mostly drove on the interstate which normally isn't at all exciting, just the usual counting down of exits and mile markers. Driving through rural Vermont and New Hampshire, however, has one majorly exciting factor: Moose. Every few miles, we spotted one of the following signs: MOOSE CROSSING, MOOSE, MOOSE X-ING, or some other cautionary warning how moose are in fact present and can seriously damage you or your vehicle.
I'd say after a good hour and a half on this drive and after seeing a multitude of these signs, we began to question how present these moose actually are. As if the moose could hear us and our wondering about their roadside travels, we just happened to see one along the side of the road, drinking from a stream. We slowed down to take a photo and get a good look at this marvelous creature. Needless to say, we were then believers of the frequency of moose roaming near interstates.
My friend Kait was so kind to hook us up with a place to stay in New Hampshire. Her parents rent a condo at The Mountain Club on Loon Mountain so we had the privilege to stay here for the night. It was unbelievably fantastic and we (and our wallets) were extremely grateful for this hospitality!

I'm so glad that on occaision my brain works and that it dawned on me in time for you guys to stay there - hope you slept ok - can't wait to see you!
The moose come out more often at night too and they are so big that it destroys you and your car. I'm so excited you saw one though. I go skiing at Loon all the time. It is beautiful up there. Have fun!
