Land of the Lost WOLVES

Just last year, BBC sent a crew with rather expensive toys to this very region with a mission to further investigate the very real possibility that Wolves are coming from Canada back down the Cascades and recolonizing in Washington state and possibly even further south.  It is a 2 part series that is brilliantly done.  Also exciting to realize that we have been in the heart of where these beautiful and elusive creatures have been surviving and reproducing under the radar.  The stuff of fairy tales, it is easy to imagine them in this wild country, perfect for staying hidden.  How incredible would it be to see tracks or even hear a howl.  We would be truly blessed indeed.  It will be airing on the Discovery Channel soon, they have not posted the time yet but if someone finds it please post so everyone can watch.  There is a section that investigates the "Hozameen Pack" and that is exactly where I started out.  I didnt take this photo but it was taken on a beach that we were near.

The weather looks like it may be improving but of course I am hesitating because the weatherman is not always right.  It's official, this June was the wettest on record in the pacific northwest, validating that we aren't just being wimpy...  With all the precipitation the snow is actually melting faster than normal in lower elevations so there is still a chance we may get lucky.  Only time will tell.  It seems there are other part of the country experiencing their own crazy weather phenomenon, not to mention the wildfires in Colorado.  Be safe, and have fun exploring your own corner of the world!
