ʻAʻole lākou i kapa i ke ala o ke alanui 3 e holo aku ana mai Pittsburg, New Hampshire, a hiki i ka palenaʻo Kanada "Moose Alley" no kaʻole. Inā e hele anaʻoe i New England a makemakeʻoe eʻike i ka moose, pono kēia ala māmā kahi o nā koho maikaʻi aʻoi loa.
ʻO Pittsburg (hoʻohālikelike i nā hōkele no ke kūlanakauhaleʻo New Hampshire, ke kuʻi hope loa no ka poʻe eʻimi ana i nā North Woods.
ʻO ka wao nahele hōʻailona o New Hampshire kahi i pani nuiʻia no ka hapanui o ka Mokuna Granite kahi kokoke i 3,800 moose (e like me ka 2016). Me kēlā mau helu helu a me Moose Alley kaulana, manaʻo paha au e hiki iaʻu ke maopopo i ke kumu i lele ai kuʻu kāne ma mua i kahi ala e hele ai i Moose Alley. I ka wā i hele ai au, ua hōʻoluʻolu maiʻo ia iaʻu: "Eʻike mākou i nā moose i Moose Alley."
I ko mākou heleʻana i ke kūkulu'ākau ma ke alanui 3 mai kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi o Pittsburg, ua hōʻailonaʻia nā hōʻailona alaloa he nui ma nā papa manawa i'ōleloʻia: "ʻO ka papa no ka Moose e hiki iā ia ke mālama i kou ola. ʻAʻole mākou makemake i ka paʻi, akā, ma nā mau mile he nui o kā mākou huakaʻi hele, a ua hiki iaʻu ke'ōlelo iā Bruce e hoʻomaka ana eʻono i kahi liʻiliʻi. Manaʻo wau ke kānalua neiʻo ia:ʻO wai kaʻoi aku o ka pōʻino ... kahi hehi 1,200-pa ma ke alanui aʻo ka wahine irate ka hapaʻumi o ka nui ma ka noho kaʻa?
ʻOiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole mākou i hele ma o Moose Alley i ka manawa kūpono eʻike ai i ka moose.
ʻO ka manawa maikaʻi loa no ka nānāʻana i ka moose ke kakahiaka a me ka pō, aʻo mākou ma ke alanui i ke awakea.
E like me koʻu hoʻomakaʻana e hopohopo, ua hoʻoholo mākou ma kahi kuahiwi, a ua hiki iaʻu keʻike i ke kuhiʻana o ke kepau me aʻu ma mua o ka'ōheaʻana o Bruce i kahi mea e like me "Whoa!" ʻO ka moose'ōpiopio me ka nānā liʻiliʻiʻole i ka laina o nā kaʻa a me ka moose paparazzi i pīpī i ke alaloa o ke ala no nā minuke heʻelima i mua o ke kaʻa e manaʻoʻole ana e ho'ōki i ka hala a hala.
Ua kūʻaiʻo kaʻu kāne iā ia iho, akā, hele akulaʻo ia i ka mileʻele eʻike ana i kahi lei mōleka kaulana a maikaʻi loa ma ka lihi o ka ululaʻau ma mua o ko mākou hōʻeaʻana i Kanada.
Ināʻoe e hele ana i Moose Alley, e hahai i kekahi mau mālama:

A e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia, he helehelena maikaʻi loa ia ma o nā ulu nahele a me nā pua nani o Hamakua, a ma nā loko e hana i ke kai o ke kaiʻo Connecticut, keʻoleʻoe eʻike i ka moose. Ināʻoeʻo ia ma kahi noho o ka mea hoʻokele, hiki paha iāʻoe ke hana i ka haʻiʻana i kēlā me kēia lā ma mua o kou pukaʻana i hiki ai iāʻoe ke haʻi aku me ka hilinaʻi i kāu mauʻelele hemahema ināʻaʻole e launa pū nā mea hoʻoholo.
