Out and About
Each of the poems in Stone’s collection draws from his experience in Minnesota’s outdoors, but anyone who loves being outside will identify with his words.

You Gotta Get Out of the Woods...
Moving to the Gunflint Trail with visions of becoming a northwoods Crocodile Dundee, the author eventually found satisfaction in owning and operating a construction business there. This self-published book chronicles his adventures along the trail and is amply illustrated with photos of moose and other wildlife he has encountered, as well as photos of the 2007 Ham Lake Fire.
