We have arrived in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – “The Musky Capital of the World.” (In case you were wondering, a Musky is a rather large fish.) Although I am really just spitballing here, I would say that the ratio of chainsaw bears to permanent residents is approximately 1:1. When I mention I am headed to taxidermy school, everyone seems to believe that it is a reasonable educational goal. If you would like to picture our vacation abode “The Big Bear Hideaway,” imagine Wes Anderson, Yogi Bear, Antoni Gaudi and Grizzly Adams conspired to create the ultimate vacation cottage. . . now imagine something about 500% better than that. Needless to say, we love it here.
