For The Love Of Wolves

Often times one longs to know more about wolves and I have recently found out about a website that tells of the Lobo Wolves of northwestern Pennsylvania, and how a Doctor McCleery, helped save this species of wolves. Anyone we would enjoy learning about the efforts to save the wolves can visit the following link to learn more. It is a very moving story about how this Doctor and the tiny town of Kane, Pa., tried to help by setting up a wolf compound and caring for the wolves with the help of donations until his death.

Another man a good friend of the doctor's took over their care, and then moved the wolves to the west coast to Washington State. The wolves however, did not thrive there as well do to the rainy weather, and then as a last resort they were moved to Montana, where relatives keep up the effort to preserve the species. If you live or lived, in any of those areas this story will be of interest to you. Even just the love of the beauty of wolves will make this story one you will not forget.

Here is a link that helps to explain about the roles of the Alpha male and female. I hope it answers your question.

While I posted this over in a different thread for you, I will add it here for others who love wolves to enjoy. It is a way of understanding how the wolf totem and those that love wolves have a connection. A bit deep but also very insightful in giving a knowledge known only to a few.

By the way I liked what you have said because it is informative and interesting. I like the comfortable camping because I am older and need to be warmer and have things handy in the tent, that in my youth did not matter. So I find your comments giving me hope for a enjoyable camping experience and know that I am making the right choices the first time instead of dumb costly mistakes.

 

Most of the ones I know my age only camp in motor-homes or other such trailers, few if any in my area still use a tent. Some are afraid of the bears but most can not deal with no bathroom or running water. I like the pop-up campers but not sure my car could pull one. Recently I saw a tent setup for a motor cycle that is pretty cute. Part of the tent is on a trailer and the rest sits on the ground. However, I doubt something made for a motorcycle to haul would hook up to a car.

 

Must be nice to have your own private outhouse. Do all of the campsites have one, or just a few? Notice how there are always put at the top of a hill. It is just too insure those dead of the night trips are a breathless uphill walk praying all the while no one else is inside.

 

Nice to have the comfort of ones own ( kybo), instead of sharing with the whole campground like most of our campgrounds. They always place them at the top of hills with the tent camping areas right below. So the need to climb a hill to go gets old. But one can always have a port-a-potty in the tent for those late at night urges. Also good because the bears are in the parks at night to raid the garbage cans and dumpsters. Not the best time to get between a bear with cubs, when a need like that demands hurrying to the outhouse.

 

That is a very interesting idea, although since it has no tent around it could be quite a airy and entertaining spot for any onlookers. Not sure I would like that.

 

While if your group is all guys then there wouldn't be that privacy issue, but if your camping with a mixture of guys and gals, well us gals would want a bit more privacy then just announcing we are off to the kybo, and hope that no one is watching or following.

 

I am sure your groups are respectable and thoughtful, and as nice as you are, but down here it would be pranksters at work using the unexpected quiet time to embarrasses the poor soul who is just trying to get the "job" done. Although, all in the name of fun, a privacy tent or outhouse is often a necessity. But even then in many parks and campgrounds, and other places the individual doors are removed to prevent damage and for easier cleaning.

 

Not everyone would do that, but those that would might consider it just good fun. I think most folks would respect the rights of others and not be mean. All the same I would want a privacy screen or tent, that protected me from the weather and gave me peace of mind. But that is just me, others might not even care.
