The Brigade drove across the border into Minnesota on Friday with canoes in tow for a visit to the Grand Portage National Monument. This is the location of an important fur trade era fort of the Northwest Company. David Thompson arrived upon the same stone beach where we launched our canoes. We toasted him with milk, something he didn't have in his years in the north.
Thursday morning we spent two hours surfing a series of waves along the Kamanistiqua River. The Kam drops an impressive two hundred feet at Kakabeka Falls. We avoided the scary rapids and enjoyed the day in a modest narrow.
