They got up bright and early to start their adventure in the cold mountain air (25 degrees), and as they drove to breakfast, they could see "Moose Crossing" signs every half mile. Krissey said to Tom, “maybe we will see a moose!” at the exact time they rounded the bend and ....LOW AND BEHOLD!...there stood two moose friends by the side of the road! She started jumping up and down in her seat screaming, “oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I just can’t believe this!”, and hurriedly grabbed her Non-Rev Challenge Tee-shirt from the backseat. She quickly shoved the camera into Tom's hands, hopped out of the car, and captured this photo.
She was a bit frightened because, as us Bozoners know, moose are just about the most dangerous of wild animals. This action by Krissey is akin to the Yellowstone tourists we hear about all summer long who get out of their vehicles to pet the bison with disastrous results! But Tom calmly and quickly snapped and photo, and Krissey dashed back into the car. So while Megan and Caitlin "faked" their way through a moose photo (see blog post "A Big Points Trip"), Krissey actually GOT the photo and the points for our team. No more wondering if this task is legit or not!
Riding the high of their success, Krissey and Tom proceeded into downtown Anchorage to complete Task #88--At the Bear & Raven Adventure Theatre (points earned: 15). This is a small 35-seat theatre that show locally produced movies all about the great state of Alaska.
While Tom and Krissey enjoyed their trip to this non-contiguous US state, our teammate Candy headed to the other one. Stay tuned...
My Leetleest Seester you and Tom Terrific did soooo good!
