All of us except for Keegan spent last week in a remote cabin near Ely, Minnesota – one of my favorite places on Earth. We had such a great time! We saw lots of wildlife that I would not have expected to see, including a fisher (a type of large weasel), many bald eagles, a sable fox, and even a moose. I have been wanting to see one of those in that area for many years.

Last week I spent vacation time with Cohen, Tristan, and my brother, Dan, in a remote cabin near Ely, Minnesota. We had a good time even though the weather was cold with snowfall some of the time. Check out the trip photos on my photos page.
It’s taken me a while to do but I wanted to comment on this interesting post from the folks at LibraryThing about a moose incident near their building. I thought it was incredible that a moose had wandered into Portland, Maine! I’ve been there (and elsewhere throughout the state) a few times and it is one of my favorite places on earth. I would never have imagined a moose wandering around in the city proper, though.
There is a bit of irony for me personally in this story, because each time I’ve been to Maine, as well as to other areas where moose are supposedly prevalent, such as northern Minnesota, I secretly hoped to see a moose. I have struck out so far. The only place I recall seeing moose was many years ago in the area around Glacier National Park.
