7. My personal hints and advice for your trip

 

 

Hol-ry .......  Redeye   This is a greeting between canoes.  Hol-ry were crackers/bread that they had long ago and the red juice/koolaid made a "red eye" in the pot.   So if you have the crackers I have the juice and we can sit and have a snack.  So one canoe will holler out Hol-ry and the other canoe will return a call Redeye.    (Hol-ry is pronounced hole rye)

I encourage you to get the Northern Tier Historic trail Badge:

Requirements are to canoe down the boarder trail between USA and Canada, camp one night on it, and do a skit about the history of the Voyagers from the 1700s and 1800s. This is a very impressive Badge.  It is metal hanging on a ribbon.
