The NPS has said the park will remain open till 10/31. May close parts of the park depending on releases.

John, have they indicated where on the island these wolves will be released?

When I talked to Rolf about a month ago, he said they intended to drop them at multiple spots to let them find each other.

It's too much to expect to see or hear them during the next few days, but that won't stop me from hoping! We're arriving on Saturday and leaving on Thursday.

Kind of weird how it takes years and years to figure out if they want to release wolves on the island again, and then when they say they want to, they're just all of the sudden releasing them and coming back shortly with some more.
Also, how terrified does this thing look? First, it goes to sleep in one place, and then wakes up all of the sudden in a new place. I guess my face would be like this too:

They've also made the pages of this week's Science! (There's a bit at the end, one that's prompted a lot of discussion in my household, comparing the conjectured moose hunting prowess of US and Ontario wolves.)

Looks like Siskiwit Bay campground.
Posts for the earlier releases mentioned they left a moose carcass nearby in order to insure an easy first meal. It made me wonder where they obtained the moose.
