Visited North American Bear Center in Ely , MN

 



 My apologies for missing  a month of blog articles. My wife and I have been on a Midwest camping trip travelling four thousand miles through thirteen states. My plan was to update the blog weekly. A change in plans  with adding new destinations to our route came daily  logistics issues and finding open campgrounds.

 Our furthest destination was Ely Minnesota. There we visited The North American Bear Center. I was like a kid walking into a candy store! The facility had so much to offer. The layout was inviting with many bear exhibits and a small theater showing a winter bear den check. The displays and exhibits were  informative. The Bear Center, in short, was incredible, many pictures were taken, the bear center’s website does a better job showing what’s available.

Unfortunately, the Wolf Center on the other side of town was not open the day we were there.

I’ve been out the last few days collecting SD cards and have lots of videos to review. A mild October and  mast crop of acorns have kept the bears busy foraging. I hope at least one trail camera videoed a respectable bull moose during the recent rut. https://youtu.be/myOALWgvotk
