Sometimes things work out.  We were six hours into what we thought was a three and a half hour drive, not sure if we were even on the right road, and both of us thinking to ourselves that we might be spending the night pulled over somewhere along the dirt road we were traveling.  We passed a low lying wetland area and I said it looked like there should be a moose out there.  Nick responded that at least that would make the drive worth it.  Just a few minutes later what pops out on the road- two moose! Score one!
