And away they went. |
 |
 |
|
Nest stop, Crow Wing State Park, about 8 miles and 2-1/2 hours
downriver. |
|
 |
|
In they come. |
 |
|
More canoes. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
In all, eleven canoes and kayaks participated in the event. |
 |
 |
|

 |
|
Once ashore, they were confronted by pioneers dating back to the 1700s where
our flag had 13 stars. |
 |
|
Bob Nelson has been restoring guns to their former glory for many years doing
extensive research first. |
 |
|
It is amazing what was available 200 years ago. |
