[QUOTE="DeWoken, post: 1364583, member: 18948"] Here is Scotian in the flesh, [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yp6ZdCIE3k']on the finer points[/URL] of whacking & stacking. We know WHO you are but the question remains, would you take the NW Passage, yay or nay? (Cross-post with "Go East" thread). [ATTACH alt="Joyful.jpg"]25065[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]TVY8LoM47xI[/MEDIA] [spoiler] [CENTER][B]Northwest Passage – Stan Rogers[/B][/CENTER] CHORUS: Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died; Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones. CHORUS Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain. CHORUS And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea. CHORUS How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again. CHORUS [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
