A helicopter had to rescue a research student Thursday afternoon after a group of wolves surrounded her near a Washington state campground.
Okanogan County dispatch received a call around 12:30 p.m. from the student, who was surveying the area near the Tiffany Spring Campground in northern Washington when she came across the wolves. Officials said she had climbed 30 feet up a tree and a pack of wolves was surrounding her.
The sheriff’s department is looking into whether there is a threat to future campers.

Something rather weird about your “wolves” story. It is the exact reproduction of the ad on TV where the guy is up a tree with wolves surrounding him. Sorry, seeing is believing. Sounds contrived. Guess I’m just old and seen too much fake news.
