Deep in the heart of the Tradoodle Forest, within the marvelous state of Minnesota, known affectionally as the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes,’ a group of adventurous kids known as the 'Merry Meandering Minnesotans' or 'Triple M' would gather every sunny Saturday. Minnesota is a state known for its natural beauty - with cascading waterfalls, serene forests, and of course, an abundance of sparkling lakes. And the Triple M's are known for their love of hiking through this breathtaking landscape. Now, remember, these aren't your average kids. Nope, not by a long shot. They possess an incredible sense of adventure and bravery, and they are led by none other than their fearless and funny leader, Squiggly Moose. Despite his name, Squiggly Moose is not really a moose, but a child with a set of antlers atop his head, so don't be too confused! With a giggle in his voice and a spring in his step, Squiggly Moose would lead his troop of jolly young hikers through the enchanting wilderness of Minnesota. They would skip along the pine needle-strewn paths, climb the sugar maple trees, and race each other to the top of the sleeping giant hills. Their laughter could be heard echoing through the valley, scaring away the grumpy old crows, and making the bald eagles above chuckle in delight. No river was too wide, no mountain too steep, and no trail too long for these Minnesota kids. They loved exploring the natural wonders of their state as much as Squiggly Moose loved telling his fantastical stories about the "invisible squirrels" and "giggling gophers". And thus, the state of Minnesota was a beautiful paradise for these brave, hilarious, and adventurous young hikers.
