There is the Northwest Fur Post near Pine City, Minnesota.
Reconstructed post on an actual site, they have a new interpretation
center opening this year. Across the St. Croix and north is Forts Folle
Avoine, reconstructed Northwest and XY posts as well as a museum, to bad
you'll be early for the Midwest Nationals that will be there 3rd week in
July. Folle Avoine (means crazy oats or wild rice) is north of Webster,
Wisconsin.

Subject: MtMan-List: Chehalis River 1824
Man, oh man, do them Hudson Bay boys know how to have a good time! I'm just
back from a longboat expedition up the Chehalis River with Mister Work and
Mister McKay in search of an easy water route to the Frasier. Two and a half
days at the oar, and wading through knee deep sucking mud with a blazing sun
and swarms of mosquitos was about as much fun as a guy could stand!
I signed on as the Chief Scout for the trip which meant I'd be the first one
out of the boat, into the mud, and search for hostiles in the briars,
stinging nettles, and devils club.... All for 10 pounds, and an extra ration
of rhum! The Doc sez my hands should relax form the claw position to normal
in a few days, but the cuts, blisters, and bruises will take awhile longer.
I'm amazed at what the HBCo did in the land I live in and have a great
respect for how they did it.
Here's a couple jpg's of the trip..... I'm that handsome silver haired scout
in the center.....<G>
