You may be right about the exact location of these falls.  They were one of several impressive falls below Telescope and above Glenn.  I do remember a severe hit to our travel progress here,  because the Walleyes would not leave us alone....

Great shot.  I was surprised to see a picture with a road in it.  Nice to mix it up a bit!

Ditto.

This year the road surface was quite a bit better than last year.  Seems like they had just graded it not long before my trip.  Despite that, there were still a few washboard spots left and a few spots where water was running over the road (mostly due to beaver activity).  Just a few rock outcrops to deal with and no ruts.

Apparently the road surface was good enough for folks to pull their motor boat/trailer to Red Lake from somewhere over in the direction of Longlegged Lake.  I passed a couple of those on my way in.  But it was still a pretty long drive into Leano and out from Onnie.

That's what WE thought.

Look at the hind leg. Does it look injured to you? We thought maybe it had injured its leg, or been hamstrung or something.

Frankly, the moose (which actually looked like a big calf more than a cow) looked shell-shocked. We paddled really close to it, and it just stood there at water's edge, dazed. Never moved a muscle, never batted an eyelash (do moose have eyelashes?)

The shot was obviously zoomed, but not by much.

We finally moved on, not wanting to bother it.

Actually it was taken in the fall.

Sept. 18, to be exact.

This year.

It was on the east side of Agnes Lake in Quetico, just south of Louisa Falls. There's a little point right before you reach the falls. It was standing right on the edge of the lake.

I've seen a lot of moose over the years; usually they want no part of humans, in canoes or out.

This one just stood there like a statue. Maybe I'm reading too much into its eyes, but again, it looked just dazed. Never moved.
