Voyageurs National Park, International Falls, Kettle Falls

We are in the border town of International Falls.  This is often the coldest place in America, Today we took an all day boat tour to Kettle Falls.   Along the Canadian border, A stopping off place along the route of the Ojibwe Indians, then fur traders, then the gold miners, then loggers, from 1730, In 1975 the Voyageurs Nation Park was established. So beautiful here.  We had lunch in the only building, Kettle Falls Hotel. The only way to get here is by boat, no roads, lots of fishing.  We have been eating Walleye.
