Surrounded WOLF! There is something about that word that reeks of wild places and lonely dark nights by the fire. The image of a dark wolf vaguely seen at the outer limits of the firelight, or the sound of a howling pack hunting in the night must have some kind of an atavistic memory in me because it somehow makes me feel vulnerable and alone.

We had been getting a lot of promising pictures on the game camera, but none came in while I was there that I wanted.
