Beware of moose crossing in Moose Valley |
|
January 5, 2018 |
 |
| This crash
was in Maine, the picture posted to
Facebook by Ashley Stoddard in 2014, but
similar collisions have occurred on
Highway 95 in Boundary County.
Fortunately, the driver in this
collision walked away with only minor
injuries, but the moose, and the car,
were both destroyed. |

Karen McCarty passes along that Deep Creek east
of Highway 95 along Shiloh Loop is frozen tight
and the moose are thirsty.
"They come up from Shiloh behind Living Stone
Lane as it's an easier slope with more space
between trees," she writes. "Then they angle
toward either Stampede or McArthur Lake. A
beautiful bull was lost recently. There is a
baby so small he has to hop to get through the
snow! I also saw his mother's tracks."
Moose Valley is aptly named, she writes, but it
is that stretch where the corners and rises make
it easy for motorists to miss them until it's
too late.
If you're driving on Highway 95, please keep an
eye out for moose alongside or crossing the
highway from north of Stampede Lake, near mile
496, south to McArthur Lake, which extends from
about mile 493 south to about mile 492. |
