DALE’S MAILBAG

‘‘While I was canoeing [last week] on Lake Michigan off Rogers Park, I saw what I think might be a muskrat swimming along the shore just north of Leone Beach. I followed it along the shore for 10-15 minutes up to around Howard Beach. I last saw a muskrat in the lake about five years ago.” — Larry I always wonder why a muskrat goes to Lake Michigan when lagoons and ponds are nearby.
