The members of the Thunder Bay canoe gather for a chant in celebration of their arrival in Astoria, Oregon.

The paddlers arrive at the celebration area, many wearing attire appropriate to the original Brigade members in 1811.

As the Brigade nears the shore, they fire a shot as a request to land. Permission is granted with multiple shots fired plus a large cannon blast!

Rodney Brown sings "Voyagers" at the arrival celebration in Astoria, Oregon, to honor those who participated in the 2011 David Thompson Brigade.
