Those who know Jimbos last name are not surprised that he will carry a lot of stuff.  Cool


My indigenous ancestors had an important role assisting those early voyageurs, interpreting & hauling a fair amount of freight for them over mountainous portages in the West.  See: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I recall reading an excellent account about this tribe in Peter C. Newman's "Caesars of the Wilderness." Of all the books I've ever recommended in QJ's "Bookshelf" forum, that is the one I'd rate as a "must read" for anyone interested in the fur traders & explorers of old.  That one and his "Company of Adventurers" were both entertaining and enlightening.

Portage on!

Thanks for explanation (excuse) for your tripping style. I kept seeing the word " Babine" and that helped me too.

Maybe we are kin, I noted the territory was was called Keyoh. Explains why I was drawn to the new barge.
