Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf...

...ummmmm I AM!!!  So we ventured over the river & through the woods today in search of a ghost town named Ashcroft.  Yes!  I was really excited about it!  The whole drive there we were on the lookout for elk or bear...

As we were pulling into Ashcroft, I spotted a moving object...that turned out to be A WOLF!  Exciting from the car, except our plan was to get out & walk around get some freaky funny photos & then get out...& now we had a wolf spotting.  Well, of course Mike wasn't going to let us quit our adventure...

We still walked through, except now I was so freaked out that I was being watched & hunted by a hungry big bad wolf with red glowing eyes!  A bit extreme of a reaction, I know, but when it comes down to it, I want to see my wildlife from the comfort of a shelter or my vehicle...I'm no Croc Hunter!  Mike led the way & I kept watch behind us...as if I was going to protect us by snapping a few cute shots of him.  And instead of going through the old dilapidated buildings as I wanted to prior to the wolf siting, I stayed on the path keeping close watch for moving shadows inside...or glowing eyes.  Because now my mind was not only thinking of wolves...I considered that if a wolfpack could inhabit the ghost town, the three bears could just as easily inhabit as well.  The experience was a bit nerveracking for me if you couldn't tell!

Making our move...

It was locked...shoot!

But they did have a great pile of broken glass & rusted metal sitting outside...very kid-friendly.

Took this one for my Dad...it's the Post Office.

The Hotel.

Ghost Shoe.

We never again spotted our wolf & we obviously made it out ok, as I'm alive to blog about our adventure.

Maybe it was a ghost wolf =)
