If you are familiar with the area, the road is windy and narrow with blind curves, etc. One day while coming back from Anchorage and being tired after the long drive, we find ourselves behind a rental (or better known as a rental RV). Trucking along about 40 miles an hour we round a curve and the rental slams on their brakes and stops in the middle of the road because a tiny speck of a moose can be seen yards away down near the lake. Good grief people - do NOT slam on brakes on a mountain road except for a real emergency. Anyway, over 10 years later, we still talk about that rental and the moose! By way, we could see the details of the bumper bolt heads on the back of the rental when we finally stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenai Lake Bracelet is designed with a series of smooth turquoise beads and a repeating series of random small turquoise chips.

I did not have time to brake and could not swerve (you know, mountain and cliff deal). I instantly thought, 'I am going to jail for killing a Bald Eagle.\" Well turns out, they are swift. That bird leapt in the air, flapped twice and flew over the hood of our car for several hundred feet. It was HUGE - a wing span wider than the car, body longer than the car hood.
