Well behaved wolves!
These pics were taken by one of our geologists in 1989 in the Purcell Mtns here in Alaska at a hot springs where we went as a crew for a July 4 bath and crew party. I have the same pics but have never scanned my slides; Jack just posted these on FBook. When mom goes hunting she leaves the "kids" at some spot we'll call the "day care center", with the stern message that, "you little shits better be right here when I get back or I'ma gonna whup your asses but good! So, they stay right there and will not leave. We were able to walk to within 30ft of them and they were not really alarmed by us. This was about as memorable a wildlife experience as any of us had ever before or since. Something very special that will not be repeated.
