Well, we had our second meeting with Rachael last Tuesday night, September 30th, and there has been a major change in plans. She told us hesitantly that we would probably not be able to go on the trip this coming weekend as had been planned, but would need to set a new date and rethink our adventure. This came as somewhat of a surprise to all of us who were excited to be going on the search for moose this weekend, not entirely as we did not know if the necessary equipment would be available for us. This was indeed the factor preventing us from leaving this Saturday as Rachael did not have enough time to secure the trailer for the canoes, or the tents and warm gear that we would be needing. We took time to discuss in detail if there was any way that we could pull the trip off even without the missing supplies, but after much scrutiny, we reluctantly concluded that it could not happen. We then decided to move the moose quest to the first weekend of November, October 31 - November 1 , as this was the first weekend that everyone in our group was available. After further discussion, we also ended up changing our plans for the trip as we felt it would be rather cold to be on the water in November, and because Rachael suggested a route in the White Mountains where we could sleep in a cabin. Personally, I still thought we had better chances of finding a moose along a river, but as a group we decided to either go backpacking in the Zealand area and spend the night in a hut, or contact UNH about renting the university's cabin. We are not sure yet in which area we will be hiking, but our goal is still to see moose and have an adventure.
