Wildersmith January 27Fred Smith-
With our northwoods January fading fast, the month got a little brittle last week. Typically, the third stanza of month one is the coldest of the season and it was no exception so far this year.
Although it was not really bone chilling, like often has been recorded, (no 40 to 50 below), serious ice-making cold set in at Wildersmith. Several days of minus something helped get the 'Zamboni' started.
A winter tune of a different note was humming through the forest. The cedar trees were snapping soulful cracks as their sap stiffened to the popping point. Meanwhile the lake outside my door was rumbling occasional baritone notes while shivering in her thickening coat. The old Gunflint Gal even coughed up a thundering bass note or two the other night that shook the house. And if Nature didn't conjure up enough seasonal noise, it was so cold that the deck around the house popped like a kettle of corn.
All this sudden cold stuff still amounted to only one-half of what it should be as we went another week with meager snow. However, the "old man of the north" must be taking pity on us, because as I key the Gunflint scoop, we are getting a timely dose of fresh crystals. Although it is not exactly a deluge, our Gunflint community is nevertheless thankful.
In spite of the less than normal depth of white, snow activists are making the best of it. Cross-country skiers are having wonderful times on the great trails out this way. Snowmobilers meanwhile are getting along, but dealing with very rough trail circumstances while the sleigh ride business is heavenly as ever and ice anglers are drillin' and a catchin'. No one should be hesitant about coming out for a little winter fun, we are still open!
The lack of winter stymied the annual John Beargrease Sled Dog Race, but not Cook County's Frank Moe and Odin Jorgenson. With the Gunflint Trail being about the only Minnesota place with any snow, things were happening fast as they began to organize what will be an abbreviated Beargrease substitute. A meeting was held this past Wednesday to solicit volunteer help for the Gunflint Mail Run Sled Dog Race.
It will be short and sweet, but nevertheless, an exciting chance for mushers to give their dogs a run. The competition will be a sprint to be sure, starting at 4 p.m. this coming Monday, Jan. 30 from the Devil Track Lake Landing. The mid-race check point will be at Trail Center that night, and will finish back at the Landing early next morning, Jan. 31.
This is great for the area and if you can help out in any way give either Frank, (218) 368-0661 or Odin, 370-5934 a call. If you can't help, get out and at least give these teams a cheer. Look for more race details on Boreal Access. Guess a little snow is a whole lot better than no snow!
This isn't the only sled dog race in the making. Planning is under way for the sixth annual Mush for a Cure in just a matter of weeks. The big pink schedule of events along the Trail will take place the weekend of March 9 through 11. This colorful extravaganza has contributed over $100,000 to breast cancer research during the past five years. Get involved however you can, more information is available on the "Mush for a Cure" website.
Wilderness warrior sightings are coming in almost daily. The Gunflint/Loon Lake Pack, or at least parts of it, has been seen a number of times cavorting around on the Gunflint ice. And several of us have observed the monster wolf of the gang in many different Gunflint Lake neighborhoods. It's big and healthy, apparently not missing any meals.
It's unusual to catch sight of a wolf at all, let alone seeing more wolves than white tails, particularly in the Gunflint Lake area, but that's the way it seems. Then again, maybe there's the reason, more predators than prey. I'm guessing the pack will eventually move on as venison opportunities become less and less.
Keep on hangin' on, and savor the best of border country!

Wildersmith January 20Fred Smith-
Winter in the north woods, mellow as it has been, is already a month old and whizzing by fast. The minutes between sunup and sundown are gradually increasing to the point where we are having about nine hours of daylight.
If that isn't giving us enough notice about things to come, folks are already getting those spring seed and plant catalogs. And, the Farmer's Almanac says it's time to start planning spring veggie and flower gardens.
The season we had all hoped for along the Gunflint seems as though it will be a non-entity. Spring is not far from peeking around the corner and we are running out of wintertime opportunities. I know one of those green thumb gals in the area who I can almost bet is getting those seedling pots and grow lights lined up.
The scourge, of a border country winter that hasn't been, reflects a territory so moisture starved it's scary. As we went into the cold time, the area was already choking in drought. We always bank on some hefty amounts of frozen moisture to fill things back up come spring but, unless there is a huge turnaround, that's not going to happen.
I for one am deeply concerned about the danger of more wildfire tragedy when what little snow we do have dries up come April and May. I've already heard of some unattended campfires flaring up down in the burn area of Pagami Creek where there is little to no snow. The rest of the Arrowhead wilderness is about to become just as vulnerable.
When the coming season of brown and dry replaces white, one would hope that timely burning bans will not be left to chance by governing agencies. With our ever changing, unpredictable climate, history over the past half dozen years has shown that just when agencies assumed conditions were tolerable for campfires and burning, they really weren't; the proof is in the forest.
Temps did fall enough to do a little ice enhancement on Gunflint Lake. Hard water improvements came in the nick of time for our trout opener. My friend down the road indicates that the thickness ranges from near a foot right near his shore to about five or six inches 100 yards out to where he set up his trout camp. This says nothing to other areas further out and where there is rushing water beneath.
Come last Saturday morning, a few brave souls screamed by Wildersmith on their snow machines headed for their usual trout hangouts. I must say that they used common sense and stayed quite close to the shoreline. To my knowledge there have been no plops through the ice around here. By the way, what few catching reports I've heard indicate the action is slow to moderate depending upon the locale and possibly skill.
Molly Hoffman, our well-known Cook County avian expert and WTIP volunteer, came to my rescue after last week's scribing on unusual birds coming into the mid-trail area. She shared with me that the whitish redpoll I mentioned was most likely a hoary redpoll. Guess the ghostly looking birds are often seen dining with their true red cousins.
The other bird of mention, which I thought was a lady pine grosbeak, was in fact an immature male pine grosbeak. Guess the adolescent males can have the bright yellow-red plumage that gives them a bright feathering appearance, somewhat parrot-like. As they mature, their orangeish quills eventually give way to the brilliant rosy pink to which we are accustomed.
The pack is still in our neighborhood as they practiced their winter song for the trout fishing neighbors last Saturday night. Then come morning the Smiths did some tracking of a threesome that came out onto Mile O Pine. The trio was side by side and went further than we eventually cared to follow--what an adventure. One of the three had imprints in the snow larger that the palm of my hand.
On MLK day I got word from my ice fishing friend that a huge wolf was observed coming out of the woods along our Wildersmith shore. Trudging icebound to the northeast, I suppose it was on survey detail for another venison dinner.
It seems tragic that these marvelous warriors of our wilderness are going to be put in peril once again at the hands of the trap 'em/shoot 'em up human race as they come off endangered species listing.
We supposedly civilized folk just can't leave the many aspects of our natural world well enough alone. One would think that the people of Minnesota would know better than to let a hunting season happen for this revered historical component of our natural resources.
Keep on hangin' on, and savor a peaceful forest moment.

Wildersmith Jan. 13Fred Smith-
Winter on a yo-yo, yes! Another northwoods meltdown slipped in on the territory just when we thought "Mr. Cold and Blustery" had things under control. He just can't get a grip and starts that slip-slidin' around with way too much ease. Folks out the Trail are none too happy.
This atypical weather nonsense is playing havoc with thickening ice on the big lakes out this way. Saganaga and Gunflint lakes remain quite iffy safety-wise as the lake trout opener hits.
Over the past week there's been considerable splitting of the ice on Gunflint. In fact, looking down on the old gal from high up on the ridge, she took on the appearance of a gigantic jigsaw puzzle.
It might be blamed on the pressure exerted from those violent winds of several days ago. Whatever the cause, water seepage in all these seams has left plenty of slush and even some standing water in a number of places.
Meanwhile, the smaller bodies, frozen for weeks, have more than enough safe ice, but they may not offer the favorite trout fishing holes of their big mamma cousins. For sure, I would hope that common sense prevails with regard to driving one's vehicle onto the ice like many do to set up "Trout City" at the west end of the Gunflint Gal.
A mid-Trail report came to me about some unusual avians hanging out. It seems that the redpolls have moved in en masse to at least one feeder. Among them was an albino redpoll. I know it seems somewhat contradictory to call it a white redpoll, but a digital computer image confirmed it was what it was.
Then another unusually marked lady pine grosbeak showed up at the same feeder. This little gal was brightly colored about the head and breast as opposed to the typical muted gold head and gray-brown body. If she hadn't been hanging out with her brethren, she might easily been mistaken for a parrot with her coat of many colored feathers.
The Gunflint/Loon lake wolf pack has been making a number of nightly sojourns around this neck of the woods. Late one evening last week, they stopped by on the ridge above Wildersmith and entertained us with a lengthy choral interlude. Their voices needed no amplifying to be easily heard even with the house buttoned up tight against the cold. What a neat treat!
Speaking more to northwoods adventure, the great warrior howling was fitting on a spectacular starry night when the waxing "wolf/great spirit" moon had things lit up in iridescent blue snow. Talk about romance of the wilderness, these moments couldn't have been any better.
Although yours truly has not seen the aurora borealis lately, I am always anxious to learn about this heavenly phenomenon. If one is interested in learning more, there is a great writing about northern lights in the latest edition of Minnesota Conservation Volunteer. The author puts scientific/technical information into easily understood language.
When it turns cold enough again that it requires cuddling up with some good reading, that same periodical has a couple informative articles on fox and fishers, which are members of Mother Nature's clan around here.
And lastly, a nighttime trip down the Trail last week found a moose trifecta. They were observed getting their licks off the salty road just above the Laurentian Divide overlook. Must have been good, too, because they were out again on the way back up, only this time all that was observed was their back halves as they scurried into the forest.
Keep on hangin' on and savor some good thoughts for snow!

Wildersmith January 6Fred Smith-
Gunflint territory is headed off into a new year and the month of the full "wolf great spirit moon" (Gich Manidoo).We folks cherish this special place and sure hope the essence of our January moon is more winter-like than its "cold moon" brethren that just passed. December's lunar rendition surely didn't live up to its usual namesake!
Just a few days into 2012 the atmosphere is already better suited to the season. Howling winds, blowing snow, and a little sub-zero at Wildersmith ushered in this new stanza of history.
With a deluge of watered-down football bowl games, dated Christmas deco to be put away and a frosty out-of-doors, it has been a great time to hunker down soaking up warmth from the old wood stove. This north woods forest is truly the best place in the universe for savoring occasional whiffs of wood smoke and quietness though the weather outside was frightful as we bid 2011 adieu.
The digits on my hands are also confirming that winter apparently has finally gotten a grip. The annual dry cold splitting of finger-tips finds me struggling to even button a shirt or lace up and tie my boots. Several man-made moisturizers have little affect for yours truly in neutralizing the crispness of "old man winter" once he decides to take things over. It seems that I just get one healed up and others crack open I guess this is the only negative thing that I can say about this wonderful time of the year.
Another sample of winter's fervor is the quickness with which it can make ice. Such an example was observed on the twenty-eighth of December when the Gunflint Lake gal succumbed to ice. She froze over for good in the wee hours of that morning.
In less than twelve hours, the folks down at Cross River Lodge reported that the thickness was such to support the predator-prey theater. A wolf-deer chase took out over the newly formed hard water and in no time at all the warrior had corralled its favorite entrée and opened a temporary fast food venue.
Since that time, several inches of insulating snow have slowed the "zamboni" process. Further support for the tenuousness of our Gunflint Lake ice comes from a neighbor telling of a creek running full bore through his property that is dumping icy liquid along his shoreline. While there might be supportive ice in spots, many unknowns remain under this vast cake. I would advise caution on any ice walk ventures for a few more days.
Our pre-New Year's Eve snow made the forest stunning once again. Those marshmallow globs hanging on every limb are a flocked delight. Before the howling winds set in last weekend, another eye catching deco resulting from the previous fluffy application is the little white lids stacked on the clumps of yet uneaten mountain ash tree berries. The scenario reminds me of a cherub choir with their rosy faces and frosty stocking caps all lined up for a holiday concert so cute and petite!
The wind whipped snow probably sent those tiny hats a scurrying but has since created a different art scene of special mention. Although the dense forest prevents the drifting to which the plains dwellers are accustomed, the placement and chiseling of white crystals in a zillion different places throughout border country are beholding spectacles. One doesn't have to trek far away from the house to experience the intriguing marvels of these "nature-made" ivory sculptures.
That's all for now! Keep on hangin' on and savor a growing winter wonderland!

Wildersmith December 30Fred Smith-
Just like old-time cowboy hero, Gene Autry used to sing, "I'm back in the saddle again." It's great to be at home sweet home in Gunflint Country after a fine time with family and friends back in Iowa.
Many thanks go out to that Nosey Rosey from over on Hungry Jack Lake for subbing. I got back to border country just in time to hear Rosey's day before Christmas commentary. Wow, I mean bow-wow, I didn't know of this canine's talent at carol crooning.
While I was away, and since my return, winter in the northland continues to struggle against this global warming monster. Although there are still calendar days to come for the newly arrived season, it appears more and more that this is going to be another of those winters that wasn't. Our drought continues!
A few trickles of snow have blessed the territory in the past week. Thank goodness they came in advance of Christmas Eve so things were freshened up in pristine fashion for that night of nights.
Temperatures also have remained unseasonal; in fact they are somewhat warmer than they were earlier in the month here at Wildersmith. The usual sub-zero readings remain missing in action.
This factor, along with incessant winds, has kept the Gunflint Lake water rockin' and a rollin', ice free as I scribe on Christmas Night. There was a partial coating late last week but the Christmas weekend winds have sent that a-packin' as icy crinkling along our granite shores.
My lake freeze-up statistics as passed on to me by the late Check Tiffany go back as far as 1982. The latest icy cover-up in that span of years is December 29, 2001. Things could change rapidly between this keying exercise and broadcast time, but at this point it looks as though a new modern day record might be set for ice cover on this old Gal.
How about that magnificent after dark sentinel in the north woods over along the Trail on Birch Lake? For those not in the know, a couple great Birch Lake guys, along with help from a local cherry-picker operator decorated a near perfect 20-foot spruce spire with hundreds of holiday lights.
What a treat to round that curve and see that wonderful tribute to the season. It may not be as significant as the star over Bethlehem, but it sure brightens the way in a place that is most symbolic for its truest sense of peace on earth. Thanks Tom, Daryl and Dennis!
What with the glut of commercial exuberance during this time of year, it has been great to be here in the woods where we can celebrate the simple gifts of our natural wonder. Since our southern trip return, the Smith's have been gifted by visits from a couple of Mother Nature's clan.
Just days after our homecoming, a handsome warrior of the wilderness happened through the yard. Mr. Wolf was obviously on some sort of reconnaissance mission, but did stop long enough for me to get some good mental images stashed away in my database.
Then a day or so later, the first of our usual white tail gang returned to the yard. It was a real surprise as they are so sparse of late. I had not expected any at all. Now the word must be out on the deer hotline, as a number have discovered that the lights are on and we are home.
In a matter of hours, year 11 of the 2000s passes off into the history books. It's our hope from Wildersmith that your year has been prosperous and rewarding in spite of our tumultuous world. May the New Year be fruitful and happy for everyone!
Keep on hangin' on, and savor a little bit of wilderness peace…and put in a little appeal to the snow gods!

Wildersmith, December 9-
As our northland Christmas season progresses, "all is calm and all is bright."
The bustle of human activity has not been impeded by any atmospheric extremes along the Trail. In fact, the non-weather happenings in border country are making those of us who love and depend upon winter white somewhat anxious.
At this scribing on Dec. 5, the area has had only a dusting of seasonal precipitation since we last met on the radio. So the winter drought continues.. come on "La Nina."
Temperatures in the meantime have settled in at about normal. At Wildersmith, the mercury has dropped below the zero mark a couple times, but nothing to write home about. The prognosticators are calling for an even deeper dip by the time this cyber-broadcast zings out into space.
Ice making continues on most lakes, quiet bays and swamps. The surface is about safe for walking in some instances, but one should proceed with caution before venturing too far out from shores.
The water on the big three lakes, Seagull, Saganaga and Gunflint, continues to ripple and roll at the beck of daily early winter winds. We are still hopeful that the final chapter in this 'Zamboni' process will occur soon.
The county came alive with the sound of music this past Sunday and Monday evenings. Cook County's community holiday concert was performed brilliantly by the Borealis Chorale and Orchestra to standing room only crowds, and a number of our Gunflint Trail neighbors were involved.
Congratulations to everyone who made this happen once again. Although there was no 'Aurora' involved, the 'Borealis' and orchestral accompaniment certainly brightened the hearts with seasonal spirit echoing from the tip of the Arrowhead to the end of the Trail.
The magic of the season was further enhanced as we Smiths drove home from the Sunday concert. Driving out the Trail after dark can often make it appear as though one is driving off into a black hole. Previous snow efforts have left the byway pretty much covered in bright white, yet the light at the end of the Gunflint tunnel was seemingly non-existent for miles and miles.
Temperatures plummeted to zero on the truck thermometer near the South Brule River Bridge and then bounced back up and down in various locales as we trekked along. Jack Frost was busy setting glitter on roadside branches just beyond our headlights. The ground level twinkling was another light show to remember, mindful of what was going on in the lustrous skies overhead, heaven on earth. Giving full recognition to the off and on sparkling is next to impossible. You just had to be here to get the full effect.
In addition to the frosty decorating, a fresh dusting of snow the night before had smoothed the landscape so tracking of critters was also splendid during our darkness venture homeward. I must say that although the moose population decline remains most perplexing, there was trailside evidence that made it seem like thousands had been out tramping around in the moose zone between the South Brule Bridge and Bearskin Road.
We did not see one of the monsters of the byway in person, but imprints proved there was much prancing and pawing of many a hoof.
Then as we started the last leg for Wildersmith along the Mile O' Pine, a member of the Gunflint/Loon Lake wolf pack suddenly popped out of the forest and led us down the road a short distance for just one more north woods adventure. What beautiful night of sights and sounds!
Keep on hangin' on and savor some wilderness mystique!

Wildersmith December 2Fred Smith-
After a Thanksgiving run to Iowa for a family visit, the Smiths are back in the woods. One thing for which I continue to be thankful is that "wonder dog" from over on Hungry Jack Lake. Rosey and her dad are a scribe's blessing by offering to scoop up news along the Trail when I have to be out of the area.
Old Man Winter has been somewhat jittery what with the big warm-up during Thanksgiving week. I missed most of his slip-sliding about, and it's just as well since I'm not into melt-downs after declaring it winter.
Our return to Wildersmith happened just after a nice dose of snow decorated the Trail. The white covering came as quite a surprise after leaving a warm, murky Grand Marais on the final leg of our nearly 600-mile one-day trip.
Soon after reaching the top of the hill above town, the winter wonderland opened before us. Showers of snow were flitting through the beams of our headlights and for the next 50 miles we enjoyed the magic of "serpentine" white slithering down the byway in front of us.
Many at our age dread the thought of snow, let alone having to drive in it. This was not the case for us Smiths. We trekked along following the tracks of some unknown vehicle that had passed earlier, not unexpectedly never meeting another soul headed in the opposite direction.
During the wondrous homeward adventure there was hope that a moose would surely make an appearance, but alas, there was nothing more than a couple foxes making a perpendicular intersection with our path.
What a splendid place this is when a fresh six-inch flocking spruces things up. There are some special trees along the Mile O' Pine that have always caught our eye because of where and how they are tucked into the landscape. It's such a joy to see them all decked out in winter wonder, kind of like meeting up with some old friends that have been long obscured on a summer vacation.
So the end of the year scramble is upon us. The month of the "cold moon" is heavenly in the northland. The real cold leaks in and freezing trees will start a poppin' like corn in a kettle.
Now that we have white reinforcements, the wind has been thrashing out of the north-northwest. The Gunflint Lake gal and other large bodies are still rolling in against the shorelines resisting the time when they will be stilled for the next several months.
With an average Gunflint Lake freeze-up time around the 12th of the month, she knows her lapping time is limited. All we need is a sub-zero night or two with some calm air and the job will be done.
December's a time of love and deep meaning like no other. It quakes with excitement of joyous Silver Bells, sleigh rides and chestnuts roasting o'er an open fire.
I can hardly wait for the adventure of an Ojibwe "Biboon" (winter) as it comes into focus with impending mystery! Tracks, tracks in the snow, who knows where they go?
Keep on hangin' on, and savor some peace in the wilderness!

Wildersmith November 18Fred Smith-
Quiet is the catchword in border country as we pass the halfway point of month 11. An occasional distant boom from a deer hunter's rifle, winds whispering through the pines and waves being dashed along granite shorelines are the only blemish on what most would call dead silence. There has even been little avian noise around the deck-side feeders at Wildersmith.
The upper end of the Trail got its first real blanketing of snow late last week. Accumulations were light and varied depending on one's locale, but for the most part, two inches seemed to be the maximum.
Yours truly made a trip to Grand Marais as the winter stuff was tapering off. The forest was decked out in feathery crystal, refreshing memories of the beauty that Mother Nature bestows with her purity from the heavens. There's no business like snow business.
Real quickly my regard for those winter driving conditions was renewed. The Trail was obviously snow-covered. Although there were no close calls, the trip involved a bit more time and a tighter grip on the wheel. At this keyboarding, the ground is still white where shadows of mountains and forest blank out the sinking sun, but the byway has dried off to normal for the time being.
In the meantime, temperatures settled down below freezing for a few days and along with some still nights, many smaller bodies of water took on that smooth as glass hard water look. The below freezing daytime readings, which is my self-imposed criteria for declaring winter, has allowed me to make the formal proclamation for these parts.
The celebration of harvest time is rapidly gaining our attention as the "beaver moon" is waning motionless on the fringes of our planet. Thanksgiving in our land is a wonderful opportunity for reflection. In the northland, folks are particularly blessed with uncountable natural gifts that might be taken for granted by some outsiders.
I hope that everyone will give a moment of thought and thanks, as the day approaches, for the skies, the stars, the lakes, the trees, the winds, the critters, the friends and the family that makes existence both here in the forest and far, far away so rich and rewarding.
The kick-off that Thanksgiving gives to the holiday season got under way here at Wildersmith, although not quite as soon as most American merchandisers. The post-blow down coniferous plantings around the place have now grown to the point where they are in need of firewise pruning. Thus yours truly has been busy for a few weeks snipping greens and stashing them for the usual seasonal decorating.
This past Sunday my dear wife, who enjoys wreath making, decided it's time. So the process was initiated in the lower level of the house. I must say that considering all the smells of north woods outdoors, there is nothing that I enjoy more than the perfumed
fragrance of fresh cut pine and fir boughs.
With the garland exercise at hand, the home interior has the distinct whiff of a forest sachet. Mmmm, what a great time of the year, wood smoke outside and holiday aromas inside. Oh, and I must add, how about that spicy smell of baking pumpkin bread? Life can't get any better!
Wildersmith wishes to add a Gunflint Trail thanks to everyone who renewed or newly joined the WTIP family of supporters during last week's "Deeply Rooted" membership drive. What a refreshing time it was as the community of WTIP radio listeners stepped up and "walked the talk."
Keep on hangin' on, and savor a season to give thanks!

Wildersmith November 11Fred Smith-
The season that north country folk anticipate at this time of year continues AWOE (absent without explanation). By this date in 2010 the territory had a blanket of snow that became the norm for the season, hanging around until the latter days of April.
Instead of slipping into those insulated stompers for slip-sliding around, we are still treading around on the cushy carpet of needles and leaf litter in summer hiking boots.
The atmosphere has stayed unusually warm for yet another week, acting more like we're headed into an El Nino pattern instead of the predicted La Nina. Thus the air remains alive as one inhales the rich earthy smells of fall's decomposing plant matter, while those usual frosty breaths of November expiration have been few and far between.
With basically no substantial precipitation through the upper end of the byway during the last week, the area is once again tinder dry with wildfire potential. Perhaps the only saving grace in the matter of fire danger is that nights have been much cooler than they were a few weeks back when the Pagami Creek inferno was raging not too far away.
Tourist traffic has slowed to almost nothing along the Trail. However, the onset of rifle shooting deer season this past Saturday saw vehicles cruising through with a "hot orange" glow inside as opposed to the customary top-mounted canoes and trailing watercraft.
As of this writing, I'm told hunting success in the Gunflint Lake area has been minimal. There seems to be little if any sign of the critters. There are many noticeable spots of hunter fluorescence in various high points along the Trail. Hopefully a change to colder and maybe some snowier conditions will bring some action to those orange-looking bushes that sit so quietly.
One local hunter noted the sighting of a doe with two wolves in hot pursuit. These two warriors were followed by two more, then two more and then two more for an eight pack total. It would be a good bet that these four-legged hunters had better luck than most of the two-legged pursuers around here, at least on that day.
It's probably safe to say that the wolves have taken control over what was a burgeoning whitetail population just two or three years ago. As we might expect though, this too will cycle as dining opportunities diminish, the pack population will move on to better hunting grounds and the browsing population will eventually rebound.
A gal residing over on Tucker Lake tells of a growing friendship with a neighborhood fox. The fluffy tailed critter has become so friendly that it hangs around within whistling distance most all the time.
She tells of stepping out the door and if it is not in sight, a whistle has it coming in on the run, and when outside the lady is now carrying treats in her pocket for her newfound companion. How fun this must be!
Then another gal from over on Loon Lake shared that she had a fox walking up her driveway recently. Acquainted with the fox experience over on Tucker Lake, she stepped out and gave a whistle. Sure enough, this one came right back to her door in anticipation of a handout, which it did receive.
One would wonder if this fox might have been the same one, or have we humans domesticated them to the point that a whistle respondent gene has evolved? Jokingly, I'll bet those gals down in the mid-Trail area, on Poplar Lane, who've been pampering neighborhood foxes for years are behind all this. Bless them all, for they shall inherit the wild kingdom!
On a final note, we at Wildersmith hope that everyone will step to the plate once again to show their support of this "deeply rooted" component in our wonderful northeast Minnesota community. WTIP's fall membership drive needs you! Please give as generously as possible!
Keep on hangin' on and savor our gray natural world!

Wildersmith November 4Fred Smith-
The 20th anniversary of the northland's great Halloween snowstorm was celebrated quietly with no repeat. In fact, spirits of snowy ghosts and goblins throughout the upper Trail were not too haunting at all. Being nearly at the end of the world, so to speak, there were so few spooks banging at the Wildersmith door that our candy cache remains intact except for a little in-house snitching.
The atmosphere has shown some sign of components soon to be in the offing as our ground was whitened with about a half inch in the early hours, and several mornings found a skim of ice on the smaller ponds and swamps along the byway since we last met on the radio. However, in both circumstances, the cold weather character could not be sustained as sun and wind vaporized things rather easily.
Bitter cold has not consumed us yet, but several of our recent dawns have dished up some pretty hefty frosted layers on most everything sticking up in the air. At Wildersmith our coldest reading to date has only been in the high teens.
On the moisture side of the ledger, a few piddly shower attempts in the past week have netted less than a quarter inch, but it has kept things damp enough to chill the bones when added to the never-ceasing air currents.
So the beat goes on as we traipse into month 11. Ojibwe call it the month of the 'freezing over' moon (Gash Kadino-Giizis) while others in the north woods label it as the full 'beaver' moon.
Regardless of what one dubs it, excitement mounts with the end of one month in Halloween orange, and a beginning of another in hot hunter orange. This marks the opening of another firearms whitetail season. In a matter of hours, thousands of stalkers, decked out in their fluorescent outfits, will descend on border country and take positions trying to look like a tree or a bush.
All this hoopla is in hope of surprising some unsuspecting buck or doe that is more in tune with continuing the species than looking down the barrel of a 30 ought six. Not a pursuer myself, I wish both hunter and the hunted good luck, but most of all, let's be sane and safe during the next couple weeks. For everyone else that might be out in the forest doing their thing during this time of year, remember to don your orange warning wear too.
The wintertime critters that frequent our deck-side feeders are back. That poultry-lovin' marten has returned, remembering how well it has been treated in the past. And a cluster of whiskey jacks have hung around to make me feel guilty enough to get up and out early with a handful of bread cubes. The gray jay reward for my early day outdoor venture has been a visit to my hand and a peck on the digits if the serving is not enough.
The "white sox" are out along County Road 20 at almost any time of day or night, and they are not of the Chicago vintage. I'm talking about snowshoe hares, and all have slipped into their white winter leggings. I guess that I have not paid them much attention, but apparently their turn from summer to winter apparel must start from the ground up. A few have even taken on a white undercarriage.
At times it's like you're in a game of dodge ball trying to avoid the daredevils in white sneakers with the vehicle. Speaking of other daredevils in the wild, those hares don't exactly have a lock on keeping you alert on backcountry roads. Minnesota's 'chicken birds' must think that their hunting season is over because they are casually roaming about creating an occasional roadside surprise of their own. Between the hares, grouse and now crazy deer, vehicle operation is not for the faint of heart.
Keep on hangin' on, and savor dodging those wilderness surprises!

Busselton retirement village Novacare has celebrated the installation of a 108-panel, 21kw solar electricity system on their village recreation hall, the biggest ever installed by Solargain Busselton.
The photovoltaic system is anticipated to cover about 25 per cent of the electricity needs of the village community facilities and adds to the 140 PV systems already installed on Novacare houses.
Novacare Residents Association chairperson Lesley Schrafft said many people in the community were already on credit with their electricity bills and this would help reduce their costs even more.
"It's an incentive to try and cut the electricity down and…to cut the power bill. It's a benefit for everyone in the village," she said.
The partnership between Novacare and Solargain started about three years ago and was a joint venture from residents and management.
Solargain sales representative Lars Langer said 89 per cent of homes at Novacare had PV systems installed, which was "probably the highest density of PV systems in the State".

The Friends evening with Murray Walker was a complete sell out, with 200 people packed into the National Motor Museum Trust's Theatre. All were enthralled by Murray's recall of people and events from the world of Formula 1 and Monaco in particular.
During his talk he suggested several 'Best Drivers of all Time' starting with Tazio Nuvolari, who he first saw when he was 14 at the Donnington Grand Prix in 1938. Other favourites included Fangio, Senna and Shumacher but I sensed that, in Murray's opinion, Jackie Stewart wore the crown.
We heard many anecdotes about the Monaco circuit, Murray delighted in having his hotel room in a 'cheap' hotel next door to the Hotel Metropole where the people on his next door balcony were paying 10 times more than him! In the early years his commentary box was no more than a single TV screen in the open air at the side of the track, which he watched from a deckchair come rain or shine. He talked about his years when he shared the commentary with James Hunt. Not an easy relationship by all accounts and, to prevent them talking over each other, they had to share a single microphone.
After the interval Murray took questions from the when he showed his encyclopaedic powers of recall of events, dates, driver's and cars from the world of motoring and motor cycling.
Lord Montagu closed the evening with his vote of thanks, praising Murray Walker for his excellent presentation and pronouncing him a Living Legend in the world of sport and broadcasting.
Review by David Marklew, NMMT member
Most of us know Chris Barrie as Mr Brittas or Rimmer from Red Dwarf, but how many knew of his love of motor vehicles, from motorcycles to trucks which turn into bridges and charabancs (literally meaning a carriage with benches) to tanks? I for one didn't!
This evening was a photographic trip through some of the many vehicles Chris has come across during the filming of his TV series Massive Engines and a few he actually owns. Starting out with trip in a vintage Rolls-Royce and finishing off with a small armoured vehicle which he has recently acquired, and many others in between. We found ourselves thoroughly entertained throughout the evening with the stories he had to tell.

|Boston Celtics and WEEI honor Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell on their 1,000th NBA broadcast together
|02.02.12 at 3:37 pm ET
Grande and Max are about to hit a big broadcasting milestone. Below is a press release on the accomplishment:
Play-by-Play duo have called Celtics games on radio since the 2001 season
BOSTON (February 2, 2012) ' The Boston Celtics and WEEI will honor its radio play-by-play team Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell prior to their 1,000th Celtics broadcast tomorrow night at TD Garden. Grande and Max will be presented a plaque by Celtics Managing Partner Steve Pagliuca, Team President Rich Gotham, Entercom Senior Vice President Julie Kahn and Vice President of Programming for WEEI Jason Wolfe to mark the milestone in a pre-game ceremony prior to the team's home game vs. the New York Knicks.
"The entire Boston Celtics organization would like to congratulate Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell on their 1,000th broadcast together," Boston Celtics President Rich Gotham said. "Grande and Max have become the voices of the Celtics on the radio for a whole generation of fans. They have exhibited great chemistry and professionalism throughout their partnership and we look forward to many more seasons of high quality play-by-play and analysis from them."
Grande and Max began calling Celtics games together in 2001 on 1510 AM. In 2005, the game broadcasts moved to WRKO, and in 2007 to their current home on WEEI. During their 1,000 broadcasts Grande and Max have provided the call for some of the great moments in Celtics history, including, Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarter Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers, which marked the team's first playoff series win since 1992, the Celtics historic comeback in the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Nets, "Max night" when Cedric's number was retired on December 15, 2003, the epic Game 7 against Cleveland in 2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals and of course, the night the Celtics won Banner 17 defeating the Los Angeles Lakers on June 17, 2008.
"It's been my honor to work with Grande and Max for so many years. Sean and I started at WEEI together many moons ago and he is without a doubt, one of the best announcers in the NBA today," Jason Wolfe, Vice President of Programming for WEEI said. "Max has made the transition from player to analyst as smoothly as any former player I've worked with and I'm so proud to be able to share in this terrific milestone with them."

|01.23.12 at 7:04 pm ET
The Celtics will renew acquaintances with Glen "Big Baby" Davis on Monday night when they host the Orlando Magic, and WEEI.com will be there to offer you the latest news, analysis and updates from the game. Davis, it is worth noting, is averaging 7.9 points and 5.1 boards a night for the Magic, while Von Wafer (also sent to Orlando in the preseason deal that netted Brandon Bass) is averaging 6.2 points, 1.3 boards and 0.8 assists a night. Bass, meanwhile, is scoring 11.5 points a game while collecting 6.4 rebounds per game.
|Live Blog: Celtics look to withstand absence of Ray Allen for fourth straight win
|01.04.12 at 6:09 pm ET
The Celtics suddenly find themselves in first place in the Atlantic Division with a modest 3-3 record. They will host the last-place (1-5) Nets at TD Garden tonight, with Boston looking for its fourth straight victory. The Celtics appear to be facing an increased degree of difficulty, however, as WEEI Celtics play-by-play man Sean Grande reported on Wednesday afternoon that guard Ray Allen, the team's leading scorer with 20.0 points per game and playing at a virtually unprecedented level for a shooting guard in his mid-30s, is unlikely to play due to the flu.
For all the latest from the TD Garden, join the Celtics Live Blog, below.
|Live Blog: Celtics look to sweep home-and-home with Wizards
|01.02.12 at 7:00 pm ET
One night after a 94-86 victory in Washington, the Celtics look to complete a home-and-home sweep against the Wizards in Boston. Rajon Rondo led the way on Sunday with his first triple-double of the season. The point guard is averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 assists and 5.8 rebounds a game to this point.
The Celtics will look to move their record back to .500 against a Wizards team that is still looking for its first victory. For all the latest from the TD Garden, join the WEEI.com Live Blog, below.

|Danny Ainge on Big Show: Paul Pierce close to returning, Celtics 'horrendous' defensively, Heat beatable
|12.30.11 at 5:24 pm ET
Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge joined The Big Show Friday, expressing disappointment in the team's 0-3 start to the season, but saying he ultimately isn't overly concerned.
Forward Paul Pierce has yet to play this season due to a bone bruise on his right heel, but Ainge said he might be available Friday night against the Pistons.
"Paul is doing better this morning," Ainge said. "I think it will be a game-time decision with the trainer and just sort of how he feels pre-game. It's looking better, and we're very encouraged that he's going to be back soon."
Ainge said he is not worried the injury could nag Pierce throughout the season.
"I'm not worried that it's going to linger now," he said. "I mean, I think that had he started to play when he really wanted to play, which is opening night, I was worried about it then, but the rest has been beneficial for Paul. Even though the team has missed paul, it's been better for him to not play these first three games."
There's plenty that Pierce brings to the table, and Ainge said the team has missed him in key situations in the second halves of games.
"Paul is our best forward. Him and Ray [Allen], the combination of them makes it a double-edged sword. You have to really have two good defenders out there on the wings at all times. You have to have the attention on the floor spread. And he's a closer. Having two closers out there, Ray has played very well offensively for us, but we need another weapon. Paul has been greatly missed on the offensive end, and probably closing games more than beginning games. It would be nice to have him out there, no question."
As for the team's play, Ainge said that while he's unhappy with the start, it's clear that they're playing without one of their top players in Pierce.
"Obviously we feel 0-3 is not good," he said. "It would have been nice to win one or two of the games anyway, starting off with the tough schedule. I think that I'm not worried about it because we haven't had Paul, and we're not in sync. This is not our team. I've also watched every team play so far in the early season, and it's very common. There's a lot of teams that are out of sync, have a lot of new players and a lot of new faces. I'm not overly worried right now. I think this next couple of weeks will tell us a little bit more about who we are."
Added Ainge: "We are out of sync. Our defense has been horrendous, actually. We've had some good moments, some good stretches, and ironically our zone defense has probably been better than our man-to-man defense. Our man-to-man defense is definitely out of sync, and we've missed the continuity of having Paul out there, but the guys that have replaces — Marquis [Daniels] has done a decent job and Sasha [Pavlovic] has done a decent job — it's more of we just haven't done a good job. I think Ray and Rajon [Rondo] and [Kevin Garnett], guys that have been here in the past, all need to do a better job of stopping the ball. '¦ We've got to stop the penetration and do a better job on the perimeter and not put so much pressure on the interior defense."
Swingman Mickael Pietrus, whom the team signed prior to the season, is still getting familiar with the team's system and has yet to play this season.
"He's not ready," Ainge said. "He's going to be fine. He just needs a week or 10 days to get in game shape and get familiar with our set. '¦ Pietrus is probably anywhere from a week to two weeks away. We don't have an exact date yet."
The Celtics' second loss of the season came to Heat, who are favorites to win it all this season. Ainge said the Heat, who eliminated the C's last season in the playoffs, are good, but not invincible.
"They're definitely the favorites. I don't believe they're unbeatable. I believe they're very good, and they probably should be the favorites, but time will tell. It's a long season — it's actually a short season, but a lot of games in a short amount of time — and we'll be able to answer that question a little later in the year."

Series: Advances in Biosensors
Biosensors have captured the imagination of the world's scientific and commercial communities by combining interdisciplinary skills of biologists, physicists, chemists and engineers to provide innovative solutions to analytical problems. Biosensors are applicable to clinical diagnostics, food analysis, cell culture monitoring, environmental control, and various military situations. Ever increasing demands for rapid and convenient analyses of a wide variety of materials in diverse locations has led to intense interest in the fusion of biology and electronics which mimics our principal concern: the effect of materials and environments on living systems. Advances in Biosensors, presents a unique compendium of research papers, in which eminent authorities in the field of biosensors provide an up-to-date overview of their laboratories contribution, summarizing the primary research as it has appeared, possibly scattered, in the journal and conference literature, and reflecting on their findings. The net result is an intense, yet highly readable account of the state of the art at this leading edge of analytical technology.

These are the Highest Quality Geography Tutors in Constantia Heights, Cape Town. Get Geography Lessons in your home with Teach Me 2 – the Best in Tutoring
I am a 4th year Civil Engineering student at UCT. I received the Geography Prize at my school in grade 11, 2010.
I received 80% for Geography in Matric (2011).
I always found Geography fun and interesting in High School and would love to help students feel the same way about this important subject. I'd also love to help students develop excellent knowledge and understanding of everything geographical.
As a B.Sc Geology and Ocean & Atmospheric Science graduate I have studied earth intensely in the earth Science field and have also taken university courses in Environmental and Geographical Science.
I came 7th in the Western Cape for Geography for my final matric exam with a mark of 95%. I completed my Honours in Geography at Stellenbosch University and finished first in my class.
I had a Geography teacher who made the subject come alive. I personally think Geography is very interactive and easily applicable and hope to use certain methods this teacher applied such as frequent testing and examples based on current affairs.
I have tutored Geography (at school level.) I enjoy the subject and have just finished Matric and I am very comfortable with the syllabus.
My understanding of the subject and years of note-taking allows me to provide students with additional methods to understanding concepts within the geography syllabus as well as appreciate the value of the subject within current affairs.
I enjoyed Geography immensely at school and tutored my peers in it. I placed 9th in the Western Cape (2014) for Geography.
I only started Geography in the second half of Grade 10 but still managed to get marks between 80 and 90 for the rest of my high school career.

2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Coupe LT 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
fwd lots of power great highway car!
With the exception of this, I did love my Monte Carlo. Wires frayed and broke at 32,000 miles on the shifter causing the shifter to stick in park.Also caused my battery to die.Dealer and complaint to Chevy was answered with average wear and tear, out of warranty. Sorry 32,000 miles going from park, drive and reverse caused wear and tear on wires that are hidden under the console?
Love the interior and the color, has a nice smooth ride, very classy and sporty looking.
That the parts last more than 32,000 miles and that the interior components are put together more neatly and that they actually last.
Consider it a 2007 Impala LT with two doors and sleeker styling. It's basically the same car! Very comfortable with its wide interior and vast stretch-out space up front. Even the rear seat is roomy once you access it. The 3.5-liter V6 gives a nice power and economy combination; I regularly get 20-23 MPG city and 30-32 MPH highway on 87-octane gas, and still have plenty of power for safe passing and merging. Blissfully smooth ride with its long wheelbase. Quiet on the move. Very roomy trunk. Handles well enough, but just a little too big to be called nimble. OnStar brings great safety-related peace of mind. Climate controls heat and cool quickly and effectively. Long GM powertrain warranty!
LT trim means it's neither too basic nor too gaudy. Great fuel economy for a V6-powered midsized. The ride. The room. Long standard equipment list. Numerous safety features. Good power without feeling dangerous. Automatic lighting. The uniqueness of a now-rare breed: two-door midsized American coupe.
4-speed transmission upshifts too quickly under low-speed acceleration in traffic, causing power sag. Too many body hardware issues: power mirror and passenger power window switch both dead by 30K miles, loose A- pillar trim (2x!) by 30K miles. Better quality trunk carpeting. Width hampers parking.
Have had NO problems with this car. Purchased it used with 11,000 miles on it. The gas mileage is fantastic! I learned a new way to drive by watching the mileage on the information center, and average 30+ per gallon. On a trip, I can get up to 40 mpg! (stay away from the ethanol, it ruins the mileage!)
Onboard information center. Lumbar support. Handles great
Purchased new, my second Monte Carlo. The first one is a 2000LS. This 07 LT is garbage. Problems from bad (DIC) few of them, display burns out, replaced all four rims from corrosion already, car creaks like a 10yr old car, cheaper plastics, and low grade leather seating. Maybe they skimped on quality for the last year. Really thought I'd love this one the way I love my old Monte, which I still have.
The best feature that works well is the remote start.
Nothing to suggest, car is no longer in production. Time to open my eyes for other auto companies other than GM.

This review is from: HP F800X Full HD with Touch Screen Car Camera
Pros: Ive been using this in my work vehicle for a few months now and
thought Id give it some time in Florida heat before I wrote a review.
Lightweight, great picture. can have the image on constantly or have
it run with the screen off. The power cable that comes with it is very
long allowing to to hide the cables behind panels and headliner.
Cons: none so far.
Other Thoughts: Tip: I don't like power cords tangling down from my windshield, so I
have a 12000 mAh power bank that I have Velcro attached to the top
of my windshield behind my mirror. The power bank runs the camera
for the entire day with the LCD running or a couple days with the screen
off. This keeps cables from dangling down the windshield and out of
your way. Just plug the bank into the charger once you're done driving
for the day.
This review is from: PLANTRONICS .Audio 995 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Stereo Headset
Pros: Extremely easy to setup
The sound is GREAT. Very clear base and highs.
Good Charge time, and charges quickly
Good range, can walk around freely without having to worry about a cord.
Lifting the mic to mute it is awesome, dont want people to hear you chewing.
Cons: The mic was super clear the first week I had it but started to fall off with
people having trouble hearing me after a few days of use, The mic hasnt
seemed to have gotten worse past that and I just keep it closer to my mouth.
Other Thoughts: The mic getting low after a few days could just be a bad apple in mine, so
not going to ding to much for it because even though the quality went down,
at least it still works without any hassle.
This review is from: Smart Watch - ZenWatch (Silver / Rose Gold / Brown)
Pros: Hundreds of FREE watch faces available (Glance is my favorite).
Lasts me the entire day, I come take it off and put it on the charger.
The vibrating feedback lets me keep my notification audio alerts on
my phone off while I'm working. I can screen my messages and emails
through my watch for importance. Stylish and low profile. Comfortable.
Has a phone finder, now I gotta get it to find my keys.... ha
Cons: No Wifi, but Wifi is available in the Zenwatch 2.READ FULL REVIEW

Cut and Run
Bush is cutting the reconstruction funds for Iraq. After wasting 20 billion in reconstruction money with little to show for it Bush is going to "cut and run." The worst part is that Bush now wants the coalition of the

Even though Bush promised to make the infrastructure the "best in the region" and has said in recent speeches that "On the economic side, we will continue reconstruction efforts and help Iraq's new government implement difficult reforms that are necessary to build a modern economy and a better life." So we went to war on false intelligence, and now that we have bombed the country into the ground, we are not even going to try and rebuild it? Guess the national debt is just getting a bit too large for Bush and Co to handle. Or maybe, just maybe, we never cared that much, and it was all lies.

Jack Osbourne NOT Getting Hitched in Hawaii
Rumor that Jack Osbourne will tie the knot with Lisa Stelly should be dropped now. On Twitter Friday, October 5, the only son of the famous Ozzy Osbourne already negated the report that he's heading to Hawaii to swap vows with the mother of his daughter.
A source spoke to the New York Post's Page Six, "They just sent the invites out and are asking guests to sign non-disclosure agreements." In response, Jack tweeted, "I love how going to Hawaii with my mum for her 60th has turned into my wedding. Hahaha people are funny."
When interviewed by PEOPLE, Sharon Osbourne clarified that her son could not attend her birthday celebration, which will be aired on Tuesday, October 9 on "The Talk", because he's still on holiday. For her 60th birthday, Jack has sent a video containing birthday wishes to her.
Jack and Lisa were engaged in September 2011, before she gave birth to their first baby and daughter named Pearl Clementine on April 24 this year. After he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last summer, they started to talk about getting married. "It's going to be great," she said. "After we had the baby we decided we didn't want to waste any more time."
About his disease, he said once, "I was angry and frustrated and kept thinking, 'Why now?' I've got a family, and that's what's supposed to be the most important thing." Then, he recalled, "While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized, being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point - if anything it's only going to make it worse." Later, he worded, " 'Adapt and overcome' is my new motto."

Starz will end 'Spartacus' with season 3
'Spartacus: War of the Damned' to bring the saga to an early conclusion
The business model in American television dictates that most shows run for as long as they continue to be profitable. Even a place like HBO isn't immune to that way of thinking, as then-network boss Chris Albrecht kept backing up dump trucks full of money to David Chase's house for more "Sopranos" episodes when even Chase wasn't sure how long he wanted the show to continue.
Albrecht now runs Starz, and was among the men responsible for a decision you don't see every day, as everyone involved with the "Spartacus" franchise — the channel's biggest hit by far — has decided to end the series after the upcoming third season, "Spartacus: War of the Damned," which will premiere next January.
In the press release announcing the decision, Albrecht and "Spartacus" creator Steven DeKnight said that they wanted to let the needs of the storytelling supersede any business concerns.
"We did not come to this decision lightly," DeKnight said in the statement. "It was an extremely difficult and emotional decision for my partners and I. Yet, in the end, the story was best served by rolling all of the remaining action and drama of Spartacus' journey into one stunningly epic season that will be extremely satisfying for everyone who's been along for the ride."
Albrecht added, "We are in agreement with our partners in the decision to conclude the story after 'War of the Damned,' as we believe it is the best way to maintain the integrity of the series and secure its legacy."
In an interview with Maureen Ryan, DeKnight added that other factors were in play, including the many bumps in the road that came from the tragic death of original "Spartacus" star Andy Whitfield. (After Whitfield was first diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a six-part prequel miniseries "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," was produced in the hope that it would allow him the time to recover. When it became clear that he wouldn't, Liam McIntyre was cast to succeed him in the second proper season, and will continue into "War of the Damned.")
I was never able to see in the series what Mo and Ryan McGee and some other critic friends did, and I'm sure many fans of the series are disappointed that they'll only have 10 more hours of it to go. But considering what so often happens to TV shows that live past their expiration date, solely because they're too valuable to dump, I imagine in the long run, the "Spartacus" fans will look back on the series more kindly than if Starz had tried to drag it on forever and ever the way Showtime is doing with "Dexter."
What does everybody else think? If you're a "Spartacus" lover, would you rather it burn out quickly, or would you rather it fade away slowly?

The Carolina Panthers flew out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Sunday, bound for Super Bowl 50. The NFC champions will face the Denver Broncos in the NFL title game on Feb. 7 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Carolina fans turned out to see the team busses roll away from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., to take the players, coaches and staff to the airport.
What had social media buzzing about the Panthers' trip, though, wasn't the size of the sendoff, but quarterback Cam Newton's attire, particularly his pants.
