By some sort of tortured logic, my erstwhile Host for this little excursion decided that after driving several hundred miles due East to Green Bay and Lake Michigan and back to Minneapolis, we should next go north to Duluth and take in a bit of Lake Superior's North Shore. On the way we attempted to visit a Minnesota State Historic Site that was also a reconstruction of a French fur post, but found it already closed for its very short tourist season. ( Sorry, Fitz! ) There are several spots along this drive toward Grand Portage, Minn. that offer dramatic views of Lake Superior and the shoreline, though we only got as far as the famed Split Rock Lighthouse:

Thanks, MG! You have to realize the early French explorers, trappers, and traders covered a lot of our territory well before any English ( or even Spanish ) ever saw it; little Detroit Bay here was supposedly active in the 1600's. I used to live in Arkansas and couldn't resolve all the French place names ( le Petite Roche = "Little Rock", for example ), though now I understand. Except for more obvious places like up and down the Mississippi they didn't leave too much of a tangible physical presence, though.

Great pictures James, - over the last several years I've developed an interest in the history of trappers/mountain men. They're a very interesting group, - and were the true REAL explorers of this continent. Primarily heading out from St. Louis they mapped this country west of the Mississippi and into Western Canada. I'll have to take a closer look into the earlier Eastern & Canadian trappers mentioned here.
