I want to fill all of you in so bad on my dogsledding weekend! But I have not uploaded my photos to my computer yet but will do that very very soon for you all!
In a nutshell? It was amazing. We're driving down this snowy "road" to meet up with the dogsledding people and what do we see hanging out on the side of the road?
A moose!!
The photo of him laying down on the side of the road was taken on my camera. This was after he got up and went into the woods I took it on my Blackberry! I will show you more photos of the cutie! I was stunned! Okay..so I'm a city girl. I love the outdoors, but have NEVER seen a moose in the wild before. It was absolutely amazing! He/she has no antlers because apaprantly it's "antler shedding" season so they're starting to fall off of the moose!
A few other highlights from the weekend that I'll briefly share before I work on my actual post. I went to the bathroom in the woods. It was HORRIBLE ladies! Horrible!! I've never gone to the bathroom anywhere other than IN a bathroom! So we stayed in a hotel in North Conway, NH, and dogsledding was in east bumfuck Maine. So we had a good hour, hour and a half drive from our hotel to the trail that we were leaving from. We're driving, driving, slowly getting out of civilization. The only 'civilization' seen was a couple scary looking fire departments and maybe a gas station that I wouldn't think twice about going in. Here we are excited about heading to dog sled!! :)

Then, we were completely out of civilization! My boyfriend and I..driving through the woods in his BMW of all cars..realizing we should probably have rented a pick-up truck or a tractor to fit in! But I love the peace and quietness of the outdoors..it was gorgeous! So I start to feel like I have to go to the bathroom and frantically looking around for anything..even a port-a-potty! But nothing.
"Babe..you're going to have to go in the woods..dunno what to tell you"
I hear those words and shudder. We stop the car and mosy into the woods and I have no choice but to go. Meanwhile, my boyfriend is there doing his business so fast and easy. I'm trying to go, but I just cant. I can't make myself go! I was yelling at him not to look and to turn away. I must have pulled my pants up 3 times, temper-tantruming about how I can't go.
"Just go!! Don't even think about it!" my boyfriend says as he is dying laughing
So finally I just let it out and feel so much better. But the experience was awful! There I was, squatting down in 3 feet of snow, having a tantrum. It was quite a sight!
Have any of you done this before? I now feel like a true wilderness girl. I saw a moose and pissed in the woods. Go me!
xoxox more soon my loves!
