We are back on solid ground, and off to a Canadian historical site. Completely new history to me. This fort was orginaly built as a trading fort about the same time as Bent's Fort
was built on the Santa Fe Trail. It was built by Hudson Bay Company. And several years later, this is where British Columbia was proclaimed a colony.Look at the strong man. Bales of furs weigh a lot of kilograms. Paul is standing infront of a bale press.
And now he is a Red Coat. (Don't shoot until you see the whites of his eyes.)Canadian historical sites seem to have reinactors manning them. I think that this is good. But it does put the burden on the reinactors to be accorate with their information.
