After dining on a fine dinner in the pouring rain on Ella Lake in the Boundary Waters last Saturday, I thought I saw a leaf SLOWLY blowing across the rocks. To my dismay, it was a little vermin taking off with a very large piece of coconut white chocolate. This is not the first mouse encounter I have had on canoe expeditions. They are also known to sit on the edge of freshly baked pizza pans and uninvitedly enter into Jeep Cherokees that are waiting in the parking lot for ten days (while you are on a trip) in order that they may nest into lovely Patagonia Down Vests and home-knit wool hats ( made by yours personally ). They are indeed quite classy and wiley characters. If you enter into the wilderness, beware these sneaky ones.
