Fort William

We are staying just outside Thunder Bay, Ont.  We drove into town today and spent most of the day at Fort William.  It is almost as large as Barkerville but more on the lines of Ft. St. James.  All the "characters" discuss their lives with you, explain how things are done and are involved as opposed to putting on a performance.

Though they do put on performances as well.  While we were there, they welcomed new arrivals to the fort.  Then they were dancing to the bagpipes being played.  We all tried axe throwing - we are getting a number of weapons training on our trip now.  I'm not any good at any of them - you're safest place is probably still wherever I am aiming.
