I remember how odd it seemed to lay in a tent in the Andes knowing that back home in Minnesota the same full moon shone, albeit a bit lower in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, though, each full moon has brought a new adventure, and I would rather like this trend to continue. <\/p>\n<p>May:  A night walk in the Arb with Heather.  Fireflies are sparkling everywhere and Heather says the moon is brighter in Minnesota, perhaps due to &#8220;high levels of background magic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>June:  Camping in Yellowstone with Chelsea.  A warm night sandwiched between days of geysers, waterfalls, and bears.<\/p>\n<p>July:  Sitting in the hot tub at RMBL, first alone beneath the moon then joined by old friends.<\/p>\n<p>August:  Atop Fremont Peak with a view like none I have yet seen.<\/p>\n<p>What next?
