Yes, I've often wondered why they don't move the deer crossing sign down here by the river to a straighter section of road so they could see the traffic better. They are always getting hit on that curve where it is now!

Yeah, I wouldn't want moose antlers across my neck at any speed.

I had just ridden through a curve and was now facing east and was hit with the morning sun just over the horizon.
I was blinded for a second and slowed down to less than 30 mph. That's how the moose was able to keep pace with me for a few seconds until I piled on the brakes.
This was on the Cabot Trail where there are thousands of moose and no natural enemies on Cape Breton Island except man.
The prior evening I left the motel and took an evening ride on the Trail and came upon a moose standing in the middle of the road. I stopped well back and waited and waited. Finally it walked off.

One day I may return to the Cabot Trail. One thing I will always remember: Coves seem to collect alotta red jelly fish. Thankfully, not an issue for the CB.
