On our way to Montana we went through the U.P., which was, as always, a treat. We stopped at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge and saw loons, geese, ring-necked ducks, osprey, trumpeter swans, white-crowned sparrows, and yellow warblers. The employees and volunteers there were so friendly and genuinely interested in our trip, and told us about the wolf packs that inhabit the area around Seney, which fascinated me. We were among the first visitors of the year, since it was the first day it was open. We stayed in the town of Ironwood, Michigan, which borders Wisconsin.
