Unas10: "So, what is in the middle of the white's area that they are avoiding?"
It looks like it might be the intersection of Highway 53 and the Ash River Trail. That is the location of Jim's Ash Trail Store.
"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

Ragged: "Super cool, I’m actually surprised that each packs area is that small, I thought their range was bigger."
Mn DNR says on average wolf pack range is 54 sq. miles. I think around my area Brainerd,with a little more food and more fragmented ecosystem the ranges is much smaller and a little higher wolf population.
We found a last years wold den recently. Going to see in February if they return this year for pups.

That's really neat. Two things struck me about it.One, it;s unbelievable how well they respect each others borders, they must do a really good job of marking their borders and then be willing to respect them. Two, the map looked a lot like the way a map of a continent with the countries shown in different color might look. I wonder if the borders are sort of arbitrary, or if they follow some kind of a natural border like a stream or fence, and what kind of "wolf wars" took place to establish them. Very fascinating.
So many fish,so little time
