Observation date: July 20, 2024
Submitted by: Robert Gorman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Wanted to be left alone with some dog Poop on the side of the trail, short walk up the trail from trail head at moose creek parking area. the other postings from this same area were either in the parking lot or just up the trail. Lots of old rotten logs along the trail had been ripped apart. This is mostly from bear looking for insects to eat. Thunder and light show when we first parked with black sky on the horizon but we got lucky and hunted for a while. First it was no sun and cold but soon things started to look up and things flew.
