Have You Seen the Wolves?

Have you seen the wolf pack that is in running around town?  That is the question everyone is asking.  For me the answer is no.  The postmaster saw one behind the building.  She just saw one.  Someone hit a wolf on the King Salmon bridge.  The King Salmon bridge is an old wood bridge that is need of repairs that crosses King Salmon Creek and it is just wide enough for two cars to pass.  So there isn't much manoeuvrability to avoid an obstacle.  Just a side note, if the King Salmon bridge were to be closed we would have no way to the post office except to cross the creek or to get to Naknek.  People are hoping it will fall apart so that the state will fix it.  But that would mean the kids here would have to be flown to Naknek for school.  Only in Alaska!

Back to the wolves.  One of the people who live on the other side of the airport said she saw 5 wolves in her front yard.  I would love to see the wolves but so far they haven't made it here.  We have been seeing a few foxes.  We had one in the back yard.  Craig went hiking and had one come up behind him then follow him on the trail for a while.  We had another sitting outside the office all day yesterday.  Then last night you could here one yip but we couldn't see it. Funny my dog barked at the snowplow but slept through the fox making noise.  Hopefully the wolf pack will visit our neighborhood soon.
