Below: Since it is a known fact that moose roam in these woods, it is very possible that this grass is matted down because a moose slept there. This prompted Lee and Karen Duquette to return to these same woods at 2 a.m. hoping to see moose. Remember that it is not very dark at 2 a.m. this time of year.

Lee Duquette started to bring a flashlight and Karen Duquette started laughing. Lee did not realize why Karen was laughing until after he opened the door of the RV and saw that it was not dark outside, even at 2 in the morning.
