As many of you know, I will be moving to Spokane some time in September. While this is sad news in that I will be away from me friends in Vancouver, it does mean I will closer to the wolves. As such, a new camera (preferably a Canon) has jumped to the top of my list. (If anyone lives in the Vancouver/Portland area and wants to buy a set of lightly used tools for $500 let me know, because I am selling mine.) Granted Spokane will mean the hunt for a job and venturing out on my own, but I am sure I will make some time to go hunting for some sweet wolf photos. I really would not mind becoming a wolf photographer. I am also going to look into going back to school in Spokane to possibly become a wolf behaviorist, or possibly I will just get a nice plot of land somewhere and kind of live amongst them and gain my knowledge that way.
But anyways, expect to see any wolf photos and pictures of Spokane in general, to be posted here on World is Wild.
Also, be watching for Wolf Week coming July 27th.
This is the trailer for a prequel of sorts to A Wolf of Legend (Journey). It is entitled When the Wolves Died. It follows the journey of a wolf that lived back in the 1800s who saw great evil and the slaughtering of the wolves and of the natives and even other settlers. This story is quite graphic and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
A Special Clip that includes the Introduction plus the first two chapters will debut during Wolf Week in July, so be watching for that.
Alright, since jamba is posting WA Week updates on his blog, i figured I can contribute here with Hot fire photos. check it out:
notice the pink and white coloration. that mean it is a SUPER HOT fire. From the information I have gathered, based on the color and the fact we melted thick Sobe bottles, my guess is our fire was between 2500º and 2600º F. Cool huh? Remember, do not start fires in a steady wind with high gusts.

so, I as looking around on the Web for wolf information, and randomly came across a website for a place in Washington known as Wolf Haven. It is in Tenino, Washington, just 7 miles off of I-5 in Washington. I have been looking around on their site, and it seems pretty cool. We would go there for Washington Week, but they are closed on Tuesdays. Maybe for Wolf Week. Anyways, they educate 20,000-30,000 people a year and have rescued over 100 wolves. currently, they are 32 grey wolves, 3 red wolves (that’s right, red wolves), 3 Mexican Grey Wolves, 2 coyotes and 4 wolf-dog hybrids there. I cannot find what the costs for tours is.
I have added a link to their site to the links. You can donate and stuff there.
Anyways just thought I would blog about it, because it is cool.
So, I was listening to our pastor speak about Genesis 1 and he mentioned that everything was spoken into existence, while man was breathed into existence. I got to thinking about that and to put it simply: We have the Breath of God in us, but Creation has the Word of God in it. What does this mean? Well, it is kinda like, creation was put here to be a guide a and teaching tool for us. God wanted to show us his glory and his message through his creation. I mean, look how many parables and passages in the Bible refer to some aspect of nature.
“Look at the Birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” –Jesus (Matthew 6:26)
I know that when I am out in nature, that is when I feel the closest to God. It is there that I feel that I can hear his voice better. I mean, even Elijah had to spend some time in God’s Creation to hear his voice; his word. So, the next time you need are struggling to hear God and understand what he has to say to you, try going out and spending some time in his Word; his Creation.

So, Sunday, we (Jamba and I) hiked up Dog Mountain and let me tell you that is one crappy hike up. It gains roughly 3000 feet or so in like 3.5 (3.2 up actually so it’s like 1000′/mile; Jamba) miles. Not all that fun really (because we decided to take the ’short’ route up. Aka ‘more difficult; Jamba). The view from the top was awesome though. Check it out:
I love this show! It is like Monster Garage meets Dirty Jobs. It grosses you out and you half expect Thom Beers to break out with the old “This week’s challenge: turn a 2007 Toyota Tundra into a lean mean bug killing machine. The Rules: When finished, the truck must appear to be stock. The crew has seven days and nights to finish the project and can spend no more than two thousand big ones on parts.” So it makes you wanna throw up and laugh at the same time…kinda like Dirty Jobs
So, if you have a the time, catch new episodes of the Verminators Monday nights at 10pm right after new episodes of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. Mondays are dirty and gross, everyone know that.
Only on the Discovery Channel. The World is Just Awesome
you all know that I think wolves are just awesome and that I love talking about them. Well, with Washington Week looming down upon us, I just cannot hoping to meet a wild wolf or two. It would be sweet and cool. Many people are afraid of wolves and would probably freak out if faced with wild ones. I figure, if you respect them and do not do something stupid, you should be just fine.
Anyways, that’s all i have.
That Wolf Guy
During Washington Week, be looking for a sneak preview of the upcoming Wolf Week on Spirit Well Books. I am not going to say what the sneak preview is, but it will be awesome.
