Apparently, there is a moose trail that gets pretty frequently used by moose on Route 49 in Waterville Valley, on the Hardy Hill section, where the moose like to walk down the paved state road to the bottom of the hill, so's they can get to the Mad River there.....where the shoulder fence stops and it levels out ...

Driving past that spot about two months ago at maybe 9-pm, there was a car with a smashed in roof, looked like a Camry, plus a police car, another police car, an ambulance, and a moose lying next to the road.

About two weeks ago, I came very close to hitting one big moose that was walking up the hill in the downhill lane at night there on Hardy Hill-Route 49, maybe 9-pm. Darned good thing I was driving slow through there and using the high beams so I just barely saw it and stopped my bar very close, next to the moose ...... the moose stopped next to my car...and was just standing there with a dopey look ....so's honking the horn a few times shooed it away up the hill and into the woods there....moose alert!!! ...... probably not the brightest bulb out there in the forest .... but definitely the largest!
