For Larry Weber, the pandemic time turned into almost three years without going much beyond the boundaries of his home in Carlton County, Minnesota. However, with plenty of walking and and a keen eye observing what was happening in his own backyard, Larry was able to continue writing his weekly nature columns for the Duluth News Tribune. Wandering WebWood is a compilation of more than 150 columns written during the pandemic.
