Note: There' is *some* story that goes with this photo. The short version is the moose had 10 minutes to live. An hour later the RCMP raced past my carving to pull over the truck shown here in front of me.

Note: My host's and his neighbor's boats. The boats are just off the road and many tourists stop to photograph them, so I made my first sign. It reads, 'SEE the PETROGLYPH!'. I hung it up my last night in town, in the dark.
