Thomas Huhti

A native Midwesterner, Thomas Huhti has spent most of his life with a backpack strapped to his back and with feet permanently itchy. His terminal case of "anywhere-but-here" has led him to contribute research and writing to new books or updates of books on China, Thailand, Burma, the Philippines, toon meer French Polynesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Canada, and every nook and cranny of the U.S. Somewhere along the way, he contracted homesickness, and so in recent years has been refocusing on his roots, tooling around in his trusty Taurus wagon -- the "Running Bull." Trustier still is co-pilot Bobo the Yellow Lab, who happily reports Minnesota's forests to be eminently sniffable and each and every one of the state's 10,000 lakes highly, highly swimmable! toon minder
