One other note on the tourist side of things I know you can sympathize.

I do enjoy taking a few pics along the way (you know, like Buffalo in
Yellowstone), and while we in Alaska we had a few heavy hitters on the list
to catch. We were lucky enough to see most, and we were eager to get the
last big one off the list, an Alaskan Moose. Having grown up in Vermont,
you would have thought I had the chance to see one, but back then the Moose
were still up in Maine and above, and then we came down here to PA and well,
it's been a while since any Moose roamed around here, if ever.

We were just wandering around one morning, I think it was upper Kenai
Peninsula somewhere and we came across a huge Bull just off the road. We
saw it ahead, so we just pulled over and watched, hadn't even gotten the
camera out, just watching for a while. After bout 20 minutes or so it came
up to the edge of the road. We were readying the camera as it was about to
cross the road when another car came flying by. They must have just seen it
as they passed as they slammed on the brakes a few hundred feet beyond and
threw it in reverse, just missing wearing it as it bolted. I think we put
the camera away after that one (for quite some time).

Damn Tourists..
