We walked past the dam to the northern end of the pond and looked back from where we came and the calf and cow were standing in the middle of the pond. Three were five of us and not one of us saw the moose when we walked by. They came out of the brush behind the beaver lodge AFTER we passed by. It was rather spooky."")
