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
