Cold and rainy, again today. It might have made it into the 40s, but not by much.

It was back out to Slough Creek this morning to see the wolf den and see what happens. We saw a couple of grizzly bears way up high above it, but lost sight of them later. I should have stayed around because, according to people I talked to later, one of the bears got a little too close to the den and was accosted by 7 wolves. He did the prudent thing and left.

I went on to the Lamar Valley and watched several of the Mollies pack surround a bison, but nothing came of it.

Tiring of wolves, I went in search of close bears. Over by Tower Fall, I found some. A mother with 2 young cubs, right next to the road.
