Wolf Howl

About 25 people showed up to go on the "Wolf Howl" last night.  As you can see, the Wheeler family was dressed appropriately for the occasion. After a presentation at the visitor center by Steve Hoffman with a slide show of the different wolves captured by Dale Bohlke's trail cam, we all carpooled out to the Meadows. Although we had experienced howlers, the wolves were not co-operating. We stopped at several spots around the refuge and listened intently but no wolves answered back.  The evening was not a disappointment though as it was a beautiful, mosquito free night. Especially memorable was the cloudless view of the sky from Riegel Overlook.  We stood silently and took in the beauty of the evening stars and watched in awe as several meteors streaked across the sky.

Afterwards we went to the rest area where a bonfire was going.  We roasted marshmallows and made S'mores. The end to another great evening at Crex. Many thanks to the Crex staff for organizing another enjoyable event at Crex.
