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.

Oh man that is so cool.

ReplyDeleteAt least one more, presumably.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a fantastic resource for Necromunda/Inq28 Stuff
ReplyDeleteIt's a great site. I've designed many guardsmen, but never pulled the trigger on the order.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. Is it too expensive?
ReplyDeleteNot cheap, but fine for boutique miniatures.
ReplyDeleteOh man Casey that is addicting. I originally thought you could do custom each figure in the squad, which I would have been powerless to resist, but this is still cool.
