Two thousand acres of land untouched by man. The forest rings with the sounds of birds and the rivers are clear with the beauty of nature. You own this cut of the world. Not a human, building, or train in sight or earshot. Just the sounds of the fauna the scents of the flora and the feeling of Minnesota weather in the Boundary Waters. You spent so much time in this land, but you see you wonder what will come next after you are gone? What will happen to this land? Today on Culture Clique we speak with someone who had this story and gave that 2000 acres away. Join us today as we speak with Mike Freed, better known as Loon. We will hear his story and why he did it. Come learn the history of the Boundary Waters and a Northern Loon on today’s Culture Clique.
