Lewis and Clark Lore

I have been tracking the early American Lewis and Clark who traipsed over these same trails in 1804, ever since I entered the great state of Washington. Their historic, heroic, nation changing, exploration is well known to all students of history of the “old west”. Missourians take a special pride in their Lewis and Clark heritage. “They stopped here on the banks of the Missouri river to collect timber to replace the oars for their rafts which had been worn down fighting rough currents and the rocky river bottom”, a commemorative river side plaque reports outside of Lexington.
Mile by mile I think of these intrepid early travelers wishing, even if silently, that I had been with them.
