Hiked this one with my very good friend Theresa and we had, as usual, an awesome, epic hike (we do hikes right, she and I). A cool thing happened on this particular hike: Theresa brought along a strap. She said she was hoping to find a moose antler and would use the strap to attach it to her pack. But what are the chances, right? Well, in her case, pretty darn good. During one of our bushwhacks on South Weeks she lets out this squeal of glee. Yep, she found a pristine moose antler, a 14-pointer. How lucky is that?!
