Apparently the place where I carved my name later became Sir Alexander Mackenzie National Park! #YouWishYouCouldHaveAParkNamedAfterYou

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]

Decided to write "Alex MacKenzie from Canada by land 22d July 1793" on a rock with bear grease before leaving. Hope I can come back soon!

Want to get into the open ocean, but the Heiltsuk people want let me! Being blocked by their war canoes right now... What should I do? #help

Bored now....being the first to the pacific gets lonely I guess, maybe I'll keep going west might meet up with some people #whoknows

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]

Found a fork in the river! Me and my cohorts are building a fortification here for the winter! We're naming it Fort Fork! #novemberfirst

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]

@captjamescook68 And how would you know that? Are you a witch? Maybe you ought to be burned at stake instead of getting killed by islanders!

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]

@captjamescook68 haha you're going to get killed by islanders on Hawaii! #SucksToDieSomewhereThatPeopleGoOnVacationTo

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]

Was on the Pine River, but now I'm on the Peace River! Wonder when I'm going to find land? #whocomesupwiththeserivernames

[Alexander Mackenzie @amackenzie1764]
