In the weeks leading up to our departure from Jerry’s Acres, Mother Nature was sending us signals that it was time to go. Or rather, she was sending her minions to tell us.
When we arrived last spring, we would often see deer and even spotted a few Moose.
Then as summer rolled on and the weekenders rolled in on their ATVs, sightings became far and few between. And then there were none.
But once the weather chased away everyone but the crazy few full-time residents, the Moose of Crystal Lakes made their return.

We welcomed the same cow with her calves who had clearly grown up. The deer started showing up in greater numbers. And the coyotes could be heard more often and much closer. By now they are probably making themselves at home, and surely happy that we have left.
Considering the weather back “home” was 13 degrees with a strong chance of being buried in snow the last time we checked, we are happy to be on the road with it getting warmer every day, and glad to have the moose there to look over the place.
The pictures of the moose are beautiful! Just stopping by to say hello and catch up on your blog posts.
Happy and safe travels to Texas. Do you have a specific place in Texas are you headed to?
{{hugs}}
Hey good to hear from you! We think we might go to Big Bend but will definitely be heading to the Hill Country for a spell. Nothing like Springtime in Texas! Hope to see you there. {{{hugs}}}
damn ! falling avocado`s all over the place !
I’m amazed at how many moose you have around your place! That’s definitely not something we expect to see around our place. We plan on hitting the road again in March.
That’s about the time we’ll be coming through NM, Kim, maybe we can meet up around the campfire.
Awww, look at that! Now that we have a car that can make it through the snow, we might have to go up and hang out at your place while you’re gone, lol.
So where are you heading to get away from the cold?
Headed for Texas! Just taking the long cold way around … via Seattle! Working our way down the coast now for family visits.
