Wolverines in Rainier National Park! Pretty cool to see them showing up in new places (or at the very least finding them there), but traveling right now is kind of a nightmare. GRRR! Maybe next summer...

On a slightly different topic, a bunch more wolves were killed in WA state recently. If all things Covid-related are new and different and unsettling, its good to know that the "same old same" old can also be unsettling...

11/11 UPDATE: The repercussions of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally are still being felt. North and South Dakota currently rank among the highest in the nation for Covid-19 hospitalization rates. As far as "representative democracy" goes, the leaders and government officials in both states could do a LOT better to lead by example rather than just expect the people to come to their senses all by themselves! I mean don't get me wrong, the people should be able to come to their senses all on their own... but having someone lead a little is FAR from forcing you into something or taking away all of your freedoms. Give me a break people. Wear a mask!

CRAZY numbers of people fled the cities and ran for the hills for local recreation and a sense of freedom this summer. It's impact is lasting... just in case you weren't paying attention.
