Muskrat

In the local pond near where we are camping in the Heber Valley. And yes, it does look just like a huge rat….I mean,  really HUGE!!
We are up in the Wasatch forest, above the little village of Midway, a gorgeous little area with a history of early settlement by Swiss members of the LDS – evident in place names like Zermatt, Interlaken and Appenzell, some Swiss-looking buildings and architecture, and the occasional Swiss flag.
