Momentary Fearlessness

You may have noticed from when we were in False Pass, and also here in Nelson Lagoon, that there are less of those walking-around-town photos posted. That's because of the wolves. Bears are still hibernating for the most part, but in both places, the wolves have been coming into town, hungry. They shot a wolf who was milling around a home's front door here in Nelson Lagoon a couple days ago. In False Pass, they told us it was okay to walk outside as long as you were with someone who had a gun. Here in Nelson, they said not to go out at all. Something about the wolves traveling in packs and running out of ammunition. And also something about your jugular...Anyway, we're (sadly) staying inside, except when we get up the courage to take our chances every once in a while. In this windy shot, Sarah couldn't have fallen forward any further if she'd tried.
