Good day, Wilderness!
Has anyone missed me since last week? As you all see this, I will be enjoying a fun day on the lake and at our cabin in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods. I was unable to post my Walk last week as my Internet connection was being cranky and deciding not to work on me, so Aaron was nice enough to cover it for me. Now, it's be working fine ever since, and I'm now back.
For the past few days, the Wild have had their summer development camp, where their prospects get to work on their skills. Later today in my featured article, you'll get to see my thoughts on how the Wild will benefit from the home-grown talent Avery Peterson has to offer.
With all that out of the way, let's get to today's Walk.
