Doing the Grand Portage
from Bedard's Unofficial Podcast Hosted by Pierre Bedard
Richard and Pierre ditch Crazy James to talk about the Grand Portage. We make it all the way to Pigeon Falls. In the 17th century, Grand Portage became a major center of the fur trade. The "Grand Portage" got its name because a major canoe fur trade route of the voyageurs heading West left the Great Lakes from here. The route begins with a fabled nine-mile portage, where the canoes and equipment were carried over land.
