OUT AND ABOUT in the North Woods
OUT AND ABOUT in the North Woods. Explaining to my Road Scholars the history of the Voyageurs, and of the fur trade in which beaver pelts were sought to make fashionable felt hats for the gentlemen back east and across the pond. Also stopped along the trail to point out wintergreen and bunchberry and say hi to a birch tree. Wearing my normal outdoors fishing cap, of course. Now I’m terribly torn about what to wear going forward—elegant high fashion or comfort. I just can’t decide. Any thoughts?
