Probably a young member of the Maverick Pack. However, could be Napeequa pack member as well. Chiwawa Ridge certainly qualifies as a boundary. It was quite the rodeo Saturday night swinging in my hammock in the gale at 5,000 feet elevation. The electrical storm between 9:00PM and 1:00AM... let me put it this way; St Elmos fire and hair standing on end is an indicator that perhaps one is too close to nature in this peculiar form. Lesson learned. At least the cabin didn't burn to the ground in the Shugart Flats area. BLM and FS got that fire put out pretty damn quick. THANK YOU. The Insurance companies would've raise bloody hell if 350+ homes had burnt to ashes in the Lake Wenatchee area. Just. Guessing! :chuckle: Note: I need to change the year to 2024 on this unit. It shows 2023. The joys of retirement. I sometimes don't know the day, month or year. Guess there are worse things to be afflicted with. Enjoy! |

Interesting colors on that one, I haven't seen the red on them that I can recall. Lightning storms are a whole other thing up in the high country, glad you made it unscathed. |

I was close to you Saturday night. 7,400' ridge just south of Seven Fingered Jack (between LeRoy and Phelps). There were 3 distinct waves (cold fronts) that blew through that night, starting about 21:30 and ending early Sunday about 01:30. I thought we were a goner. The tent (SO Cimmaron) miraculously withstood the fury of Father Zeus. |

I at first thought it could be the young age of the wolf that explains the red color. Then, later thought it might be a wolf X coyote hybrid cross. I'm no trained biologist so I be brutally honest, I really don't know. I captured 30 seconds of great video of this animal. I wish I could learn to compress the video down to the file size limitation on this site. It's really interesting to watch the behaviors. Still images are fine, but video -I'm learning- really captures more behaviors. |

I kept watching and listening to the lightening strikes and thunder boomers toward Maude and along the Entiat divide. Was wondering how many climbers and others were exposed over there. On Sunday our party called in a single burning Doug Fir on Crook Mountain. Not an hour later here came the jet spotter aircraft and later a helo. Those fire fighting boys were busier than a one legged man in an ass kickin' contest! |
