So, I've been thinking about renaturalization lately. Particularly the renaturalization or reintroduction of species that have been hunted to local extinction through the actions of man. I can think of a handful of really provacative animals this applies to - but I want right now to talk about wolves.

We had a great time at the Bechet (Bay-Shay) House in Louisiana! It was a lot of fun meeting new people, getting to know our Southern kin, and chowin' down on some amazing Cajun food!

There were nature hikes, long philosophical discussions, homegrown music, and even a sweatlodge.
