About This Item

Greetings!

I'm one of Nevada Wolf's cubs. She has to do something called "work" and so asked if I would go in her place and explore anywhere I can. I'm a gentle soul, so please don't worry about carrying me around with you, though I can pass for a two-legged if you find traveling with a wolf uncomfortable. While I'm more comfortable in wide open spaces, as I am from the desert, I've heard so many great tales about cities that I think it would be enlightening to visit some.

Thanks for helping me along and I hope that you find all of life's treasures.

    Welcome to Germany Mr. Wolf,

    we will try to make your visit pleasure.
    Took him to Wetzlar / Hessen (near Frankfurt)

    lived here for some years...)

    • Welcome...!

    It took awhile, but we finally got the poor Wolfman dropped off. His current haunt is just beneath the site of an ancient ruin, last inhabited about 700 years ago, in Ulrichstein, northeast of Frankfurt, Germany.

    Here is a German website with information about the ruins:

    www.vogelsberggarten.de

    Prior to the drop off, the Greyback Wolf saw a good bit of central Austria, and especially liked the alps outside the village of Abtenau.

    We took some pictures, which I'll try to upload for this log. Not sure how this feature works.

    This turned out to (almost) be a VERY expensive cache. The skies were turning black and green with an incoming thunderstorm, so we hustled up to the site, then to the old ruin and then back to the village where we parked the car.

    Just as we were leaving, I realized there was no GPS, so had to retrace about a mile of trail, only to find it under a branch next to the cache.... doh!

    Well, thanks for letting us include the WolfMan in our travels. I'm sorry it took so long to get him going, and hope he enjoys his new home. I'm sure he'll have many new European adventures before he makes his way back home.

    Picked up the wolf man for his upcoming European tour!

    He loves Boise though and all of the cool places to go and things to see.

    Thanks!

    Here we were, walking to a nearby art museum, when we heard this strange, wolflike cry. As we got closer to the source, we heard some howling and a low pitched voice that seemed to be saying something.

    We retrieved the poor guy from this metal box and after thanking us profusely, he said that he had always wanted to visit the State of Idaho, where many of his brethern run free, so Idaho it shall be!

    Pictures and further details to follow!

    Thanks!
