Moon Walk

Tonight I went on a Moon Walk sponsored by the Beartooth Ranger District of the Custer National Forest. The May full moon was the Bruin Moon, otherwise known as the Bear Moon.






It was a great first walk. I joined about twenty other people in the Custer National Forest just off Lake Fork Road.








Along the trail there were two speakers who shared about bears, what they eat, how BIG they get, how to spot them, how to be safe when hiking, storing food properly, etc. As the moon started rising and night set in, the third speaker shared two Indian folklores about bears. It was like being at camp as we all sat perched on rocks! The only negative was the GIANT mosquitos. Next time I'll be bringing bug spray!


I even spotted bear tracks!













Although when I left the moon was not quite high enough too see, by the time I got home it was beautiful!

June's Moon Walk is the Trout Moon and a partial lunar eclipse! I'll let you know how it goes.
