FILE - This Nov. 14, 2011 file photo from a hunter's trail camera appears to show OR-7, the young male wolf that has wandered more than 1,000 miles across Oregon and Northern California looking for a mate and a new home. An expedition is gearing up to hike and bike along the 1,200-mile trail of wandering wolf OR-7 as he trekked across Oregon into Northern California, crossing territory that hasn’t seen his kind in nearly a century as he looked for a mate. They hope the journey, as told in traditional storytelling, multimedia blogging, and a documentary film, will offer new insights into what the spread of wolves across the West means for the people who live here.

In this March 2013 photo provided by Jaimes Valdez, Rachael Pecore-Valdez stands in front of a mural at a skate park in Reykjavik, Iceland. An expedition is gearing up to hike and bike the 1,200-mile trail of wandering wolf OR-7 as he trekked across Oregon into Northern California, looking for a mate in territory that hasn’t seen his like in nearly a century. The expedition is the brainchild of Portland storyteller Pecore-Valdez. She was in Berlin, where her husband was studying renewable energy, when she talked to a South African friend about a trek he had done to raise awareness for endangered rhinos. She decided to do something similar for OR-7. (AP Photo/Jaimes Valdez)
