One Red Tree
Timm October 9th, 2009
A lone tree in Little Wolf’s North Forest has decided to go red early.
An overcast day sometimes brings out the foliage colors even more than sunny days.
Soon the forest will be more red than green.
Theresa Practices Killing Zombies
Timm October 5th, 2009
Check out this video of Theresa testing her new Mossberg 20-gauge pump-action shotgun. Theresa practiced killing zombies for when the bio-engineered plague infects humankind in the 2012 Apocalypse. 
She’s a crack shot and went 5-for-5. We decided to kill our old water heater here at Little Wolf… that’ll teach it not to work!
Fawn Over Me
Timm June 8th, 2009
We had the pleasant surprise of finding the cutest small fawn in the field below Jimmy Pond.
Actually, it was our dog Darby who found the fawn. Darby was barking in the brush with that “Come check it out, I’ve got something trapped” bark. When we arrived, Darby was nose-to-nose with the fawn, which was about the same size as Darby but still quite clumsy on its feet.
Thunderstorm Over Little Wolf Peak
Bridge Washed out by Flood
Timm May 26th, 2009
The bridge at the east entrance to Little Wolf Nature Preserve was destroyed by flash flooding of Little Wolf Creek:
This was a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is now we have to build another bridge. The good news is this bridge didn’t collapse while we were crossing it! The bridge was getting pretty rickety before the flood. We wouldn’t even let visitors drive over it, though we still used it ourselves.
Little Wolf Nature Preserve Has Just Gotten Bigger!
Timm May 21st, 2009
The Little Wolf Nature Preserve has just acquired new land adjacent to the preserve, bringing the total to 180 acres. Click on the panorama below to see a full size picture:
Thanks to Lela Mae and David McKnight for selling their land to Little Wolf Nature Preserve. They have helped preserve more of these beautiful Kentucky mountains for future generations of wildlife and people to enjoy. Special thanks to Glen and Geraldine Rountree for helping to facilitate the sale.
The new land is essentially a long, steep, forested sunny hill.
Black Racer Snake
Timm April 23rd, 2009
We encountered a black racer snake on our hike last weekend. Though these snakes are not poisonous, they can be aggressive when cornered. Their bite is also very painful, something we’ve fortunately not experienced. Black Racers are so named because they are very quick and can “run” almost as fast as humans.
Kim Hikes Hurricane Ridge
Timm November 8th, 2008
Our friend Kim visited Little Wolf for the first time. It was a beautiful, sunny fall day about a week after color peak.

Kim (right) is checking out Theresa’s apple and cherry tree orchard that’s just a few years old. Moses Mountain rises in the background. You can see a number of large oaks prominent now with their rust-colored leaves.
Kim Hikes Cliffs Trail
Timm November 8th, 2008
Hurricane Ridge Trail eventually joins Cliffs Trail, which is the other leg of the horseshoe-shaped Little Wolf Mountain.
Don’t Look Up
Someday the rock above will fall, hopefully not on our heads!
Jim & Gene Fish and Camp
Timm July 28th, 2008
Jim and Gene fished in Jimmy Pond this weekend, and the fish weren’t biting much. It was very hot and sticky, the hottest we’ve had in a while. Just standing around it felt like you were wearing a fur parka over a wet suit while swimming laps in lava. But the two fishermen seemed to enjoy just being out in nature.
