Thankfully, Leech Lake, Minnesota isn't nearly as leech infested as its name suggests. Despite being named after the bloodsucking critters (thanks for the Ojibwe word Gaazagaskwaajimekaag, meaning "Lake abundant with leeches"), Luie Boone should be safe to splash around. In fact, the locals say leech sightings have been on the decline in recent years. That's spectacular news for Luie Boone, who's hoomans are planning a vacation to Leech Lake, Minnesota!

Luie Boone zoned out for a moment and thought his hoomans said they were planning a vacation to Donut Hole. He couldn’t believe his luck!

They weren't going to Donut Hole at all; they were planning a vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
