A Passport for the Cabin?!?

Imagine my surprise when a story about my beloved cabin town of Ely, Minnesota was shown on the 5:00 San Antonio news station the other day. I couldn't find a video version, but here's the radio release they were talking about:



It was an April Fool's Day joke! Petitions and signs were created to "Keep Ely in Minnesota!" Check it out!

When I called my Dad, who is currently up at the cabin, he said, "Some of the old timers were a bit upset, but it didn't fool him. He was just a bit offended they didn't let him in on the joke-heh!"
