Ely, Minnesota: Wolves and bears and root beer and neutrinos, by God!
Ely, Minnesota, serving as a gateway to the Boundary Zone Waters Canoe, covering Canada and the United States borders. A museum in Ely celebrated the life of an extraordinary woman, Dorothy Molter, aka Ms. Root Beer. For over fifty years has lived on the Isle of Pines Resort Lake with a knife. A registered nurse, after attending to physical needs and mental paddlers that I visit. It provided food, housing, and their famous root beer, bottling over 11,000 bottles per year. For many kayakers years to come see her while they were rowing lakes in northern Minnesota. In 1964, the desert and the law have bought their property condemned by the United States Forest Service. A cry arose among the thousands of her friends she had befriended. The United States government authorized to rent for life. But she could not manage its affairs as a resort. She went to their root beer and gave it to the thirsty: a limit two bottles. It also provided refuge for those who wanted it. Of course, there was no charge. But in exchange for his goodness, everyone has left a donation. This has allowed to live here the life he lived. She had no electricity. She lived twenty miles the nearest road. She went to Ely for deliveries in the summer canoeing more than four ports. During the winter, you can use snow bike. the use of snowmobiles stopped when the Forest Service has banned the engines in the Boundary Waters. She cooked with firewood and Sometimes, propane, when it was provided. It has thousands of Christmas tree decorations that he gave as a gift. In return their palettes painted by his friends who served as his fence. She grabbed the top layer of the soil for planting flowers, something unusual on the island. She continued her bottle of root beer. A beautiful story about Ms. Root Beer, that she had a dog who loved to hunt planes in the sea One day she got too close to a propeller. Both the propeller and the dog's jaw had been broken. The pilot would destroy your dog, but Dorothy Molter said: "No!. I am a nurse and I take care of him. "She made a big tablet of birch bark and fastened jaw dogs. After a few weeks, the dog's jaw had been cured. From that moment, had a jaw slightly bent and never sued the new aircraft. The propeller is on display at the museum. At his death in 1986 at the age of 79 years, numerous Ely friends took all the cabins and their property and created the Dorothy Molter Museum Ely. Continue to produce its root beer, the benefits go to the conservation of the museum. A trip to the request for a visit to the Dorothy Molter Museum Ely. Expect to spend two hours there, impressed by this fascinating woman. If purchasing a six-pack of root beer. A few blocks away are the International Wolf Center. More information about the importance of wolves and their interaction with humanity. A major exhibition, wolves and humans, is being rebuilt. Attached is a two-hectare site, six wolves live and interact among themselves and with humans. Currently, there are two adults and four young wolves arctic wolves wood. They have been bred in captivity and have been socialized with humans from puppyhood before being introduced into the package. A preview window allows visitors and wolves interact with each other. There many programs available to the public. The films are shown every hour in the theater. Interviews of teachers are given before the display area. The staff tries to fight against many prejudices we have about wolves and their behavior. Power is supplied on a Saturday night. A load further right to participate in these plans. Workshops, visits "between racks, and summer day camps are also available. The other side of the city is the center of the North American Bear. Its population is composed of two males and a female black bear. Ted, a little large, it likes to relax in front of the window and pose for photos. The other two are more solitary. The center is out of their way to overcome the prejudices that man has on the bear. Forty-three exhibits teach bears video different behaviors, including cam camera in her den, while they are hibernation. The main movie is displayed in the theater called "The man who walks with bears." He describes the years of dedication Lynn Rogers, Ph.D. has lived and worked with black bears. He found that are gentle giants and accept it as part of the family. The center has a children's area, a viewing area inside and outside of practical activities. A little distance from the city is the underground mine Sudan State Park. Trip ½ mile underground to visit a half past one of the mine and the mining history and technology. Also take the same path to discover the Tour HEP. Sudan is the earliest opening of the iron mine in Minnesota in 1882. It is also the deepest ½ mile on the ground. The visitor has the same minor lift to two floors came to work in mines. Mine Tours are given hourly during the day. The atmospheric temperature is 50? F. So bring a jacket warm and sturdy shoes. High Energy Physics of the visit is a must for geeks. Sudan was elected by the University because of the absence interference with other cosmic particles in the atmosphere, which occur at the surface of Minnesota. About 2,400 feet underground that interference is reduced considerably. In three experiments are currently underway. They are as follows: for twenty-five years MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) Far from the particle detector tracking device is a ship of 6,000 tons of observation of neutrinos at Fermilab, near Chicago, which is nearly 500 miles. Minos The objective is to determine precisely the mass differences between neutrinos, three of the 12 fundamental building blocks of matter. They want whether the change in neutrino trip. They are divided into three types: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. Scientists isolate Sudan to muon neutrinos from the Fermi Lab near Chicago and to examine whether the taste has changed or tau electrons. Another detector is under construction near the Sudan to see if these neutrinos change the more they travel. The two CDMS (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) detector operates at near zero absolute search for traces of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) which may include a large fraction of dark matter. It is the place most Cold on Earth. This center is not open to the public because of strict rules that must comply to maintain that temperature. The theory is that a cold object moves less. When something is inserted into the object, the motion difference shows an increase in temperature and therefore a certain weight. This is very confusing for a mere mortal like me, but says a lot about physics. LBCF (low background counting Fund) currently offer installation Sudan a range of high sensitivity detectors, available for use by the scientific and engineering for the design, testing, prototyping and equipment calibration scientists and technicians. Ely is a special place: a small name, but a people with a heart. Discover the Grand North. Anyway Dorothy The Wizard of Oz: bears and wolves, and root beer and neutrinos. By God! About the Author
