These days, you can fly across the United States in six hours. Even if you have to take a car, you can do it in six days. But imagine what it would have been like two hundred years ago, when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and the other members of the Corps of Discovery traveled 3,700 miles from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean in non-motorized boats, on horseback, and on foot. Not only did they have no cars or airplanes to travel in, they also had to do it with no reliable map -- and they had to make their way through territory inhabited by Indian nations who couldn't necessarily be expected to smile upon a band of armed explorers. The expedition started from St. Louis, where the Missouri empties into the Mississippi, on May 14, 1804. The Corps of Discovery returned with a great deal of knowledge about the new United States territory west of the Mississippi -- the people, the land, the rivers, the mountains, the plants and animals. The expedition made important contributions to the mapping of the North American continent.In tribute to the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark’s expedition, this cache has been placed in an appropriate spot. As always, you will need to be discreet in looking and carefully returning the cache to its original location. Enjoy!
