Thursday, October 13,
2016: Mark and Paula discovered a fur trader's encampment near Winona,
Minnesota. It is living the way it was 200 years ago. |
 |
|
Let's look inside. Gosh there is almost
anything you might want....for sale here. |
 |
|
This is a hobby. People really like the dress and way of
life from back then. |
 |
|
John Heltemes is one of Mark and Paula's friends. He was
an announcer at KKIN Radio in Aitkin, MN, and now works at KDHL Radio in
Faribault, MN. |
 |
|
These people really get into living the life of the past.
They often travel hundreds of miles to gather several times a year. |
 |
|
More goods for sale. Some of their customers are the
general public and the rest are other fur traders. |
 |
|
Living in a tent can be an OK thing if you know
how to do it. |
 |
| Yes, there is usually a pot of coffee on to warm up the body and soul. |
Quote of the day:
An interesting lifestyle and look at the past. Mark
