So yesterday the 45 animal behavior students showed up at Mission: Wolf. I tagged along on their tour to listen to Kent talk again about wolves and get another chance to see Maggie...

Sitting Wolf
I had to move into the new community building tonight because forty or so students from a Community College are camping right near my tent. Not just near but my tent is the focal point for numerous tents around me.

Every morning when I wake up, there's always something new and exciting. This morning, it was another foot of snow and it snowed the rest of the day...

I woke up this morning around 5:30 AM to pellets of snow continuously hitting my tent. When I got myself warm enough to see what was outside, I opened my vestibule to a blanket of snow, harsh wind and freezing temperature. Inside my tent right now it's 35 degrees but feels much colder...

There seems to be a "Good Morning Howl" as I get up this morning. One wolf sounds similar to my Shepherd puppy Elvis when he whines out of excitement. I didn't get much sleep because I was pretty cold last night. I brought the wrong sleeping bag - big mistake! I've piled a lot of clothes on top of me to keep warm. Well, sounds like the beginning of a new day as far as the wolves are concerned. Better get up and make some breakfast...

Well, here I am at Mission: Wolf in the middle of nowhere, Colorado and when I say nowhere, I mean a very remote location. I arrived a little late tonight just as the refuge was closing. I was greeted by two volunteers who seem to have been working here a while. I didn't have much time until sunset so I got right to setting up my gear...
