Had a great time out in the canoe today. The weather was absolutely perfect for paddling about 8 miles on the Brule River and Northern Light Lake. I am always hopeful that I will see a moose, but today was not lucky enough to see one. I did see a lot of ducks and one very determined little muskrat that swam straight across the river, bank to bank, right in front of the canoe. Another highlight was coming across several very impressive beaver lodges. I'm always excited when I see one. They are such impressive feats of animal engineering.
