Paddled down North Bentinck Arm, then to Dean Channel and met FNs that weren’t nice to me. #musthaevbeenotherexplorershere #probsfiredatthem

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

Travelling down turbulent river, I can see its discharge into a narrow arm of the sea!11! #thepacific

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

descended into the gorge of Bella Coola this morning and was greeted by FNs at the #FriendlyVillagesettlement #nicepeople #july17

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

Now cached our surplus supplies and started trek to coast #indiantrails #july4

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

the trip back to the West Road has begun! #june23 #1793 #hopetheFNswererightaboutthis

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

First Nations tell me to go back up Fraser to its tributary, the West Road River + follow its valley westward #overlandroute #idkifishould

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

Got far up the Columbia, it’s actually the Fraser! Met some First Nations who told me that parts of this river are impassable #idkwhattodo

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

I’m loving the birch bark canoe! It’s huge and very light. #thankstomyFNfriends #besties #lovethem

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

Update: I have currently navigated the Peace, Parsnip and McGregor Rivers, now onto I think the Columbia!! #havingfun #toomanyportagestho

[Alexander Mackenzie @ialexandermack]

My crew on this expedition includes 2nd in command, my cuz Alexander MacKay, 2 First Nations interpreters and hunters and 6 voyageurs!
