Special note for those who manage to visit Alaska:
An empty signpost along the highway, sometimes with a small "Next x Miles" sign, should be interpreted as a "Moose Crossing" warning. (We do have actual moose crossing signs but they suffer from 'disappearing sign syndrome' ... especially during tourist season.)
Equally important is understanding, in spite of our best efforts, we have not been able to teach the moose to read and obey the signs.
The height of the driver's seat in your motorhome gives the moose the advantage of staring you in the eye without having to bend down.
Finally, you don't need to run into the moose to damage your motorhome. One motorhome was stopped along the Richardson Highway when a moose decided to ram the side of it at full speed.
