Ray & I just got back from a 3 day trip to Golden Gate. We backpacked in the Eastern part of the park. Had some great hikes and scored 2 (it's early!) great camp sites. Windy Peak was nice and the park was very peaceful. Amazing that it's so close to civilization. On the 2nd day we were caught in a rain shower midway through the hike. We got close to the camp site and saw an old cabin next to a lake with a front porch and 3 chairs. Looked like a great place to ride out the rain. While we were sitting on the porch munching on some trail mix Ray said "look at the deer....wait a minute - that's a moose!" A moose had come out of the woods for a drink and a swim. Didn't know we were there so we got to watch her have fun for about 15 minutes before heading back into the woods. Saw lots of deer and humming birds too. It was a great warm up for my next adventure - a 9 day trip to the Grand Canyon - North Rim / Kaibab National Forest and the Slot Canyons.
