From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick.

ReplyDeleteIt's fine to use. I don't integrate G+ to comments, because it keeps people without accounts from commenting

ReplyDeleteGood to know.
ReplyDeleteUsing chrome; I find that auto sharing my posts doesn't really work so I end up having to manually. Might be my extensions though.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I made the switch to blogger (from Wordpress) especially for Google+ comments, because I liked the idea of consolidating my RPG interactions online. I didn't think about people without G+ accounts not being able to comment.
