Moose Spotted Running Through Breckenridge

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (CBS4) - Moose in Breckenridge can bring a whole new meaning to rush hour.

That's what Bruce McCown jokingly called in when he spotted a mama moose and her calf running through the Pinewood Village Apartments early Wednesday morning.

"I just walked out of a boiler room doing a morning inspection, heard a dog bark and saw the moose going around the far end of the building," McCown said.

McCown says he froze as he watched the moose and her calf running through the center of the parking lot, turned on his phone to video it, and just let the pair run on by him.

A few minutes later,  he says, papa moose followed the pair up into the White River National Forest.
