Hi Daniel, This seems like a great place on some levels. I sent my sister the information thinking that she may want to explore the area with my niece.
One thing has me concerned though. In the photography section it's noted that you can get to within three or four feet of the wolves. That seems awfully close. Have the wolves become used to people? If so, that's something of a shame, although, it may not be too bad a thing considering they're on a preserve. Do you have a URL for the Washington State preserve? I'll check as well. Many years ago I spent some time in the company of a few wolves during a summer working in Montana. They are wonderful, highly intelligent creatures. Shel > From: Daniel J.
