We went for a hike near Moffat Lake, a short drive south of Quesnel. We followed a trail through a very cool set of volcanic structures (called basalt columns) that ended at a waterfall. Well, it's a waterfall in the wetter seasons, right now it's quite dry. At one point we spied a large mammal on the trail ahead. A moose? A bear? No, it was a cow. Four cows, actually, two of which were youngsters. I would hate to be a cow if it meant dealing with those flies all the time. Koda loved looking at them and eventually did a good job of moving the herd along so we could continue hiking.
