Now that you built your gwitn (jiimaan), you can use it to find the fastest route from Gesgapegiag to Marsoui. On occasion, Basque whalers come ashore at Marsoui and when we get word of that, we want to get there as quickly as possible to trade beaver pelts. <hr> [[next]]

You start straight below, on the coast."> Marsoui is on the opposite side of our territory, almost straight north of Gesgapegiag. Going north means crossing the Chic-Choc mountains somewhere, not an easy portage. You could go east and clear around the peninsula by sea. Or you could go west and look for an easier, but longer, series of rivers and portages. <hr> [[next|v1]] (set: $current to "v1", $tripTime to 0, $edge to 0, $msg to "") (set: $path to (a: "Gesgapegiag"))

Pay attention to headings and look for anything that could help you.
