Those guys in Effie's Cafe were right! Driving to the start of the run today, we saw a wolf on the road. He ran across the road, back again, and then ran down the road in front of us for a block or so, before bounding into the woods. I dropped Megan and Isaac off to start the run and driving back saw the wolf running down the road in their direction. Once again he dove into the woods when he saw me, but when I parked and waited a little further back, he came out and sprinted down the road towards the runner and biker. So I decided to escort the duo through wolf territory! (I don't know if he was acting normally--maybe the bugs were driving him crazy--they are bad--or maybe he was lost.)
Apart from that the run was uneventful, they just saw one dead and two live snakes on the road, a large buck, and a lot of logging trucks. The weather is cooperating--it misted a bit at the beginning of the run, but cleared up. Megan is now 40 miles from International Falls and running well. She is on schedule to run across the border on Saturday.
This is Louise's report from the City Clerk's office here in Big Falls. (Sorry, no way to add photos though--that will have to wait until we get back.)
