We are setting up this trail of caches giving you our version of a geocaching expedition. Along the way we will tell you some interesting information about the Lewis & Clark expedition. You will be going into the Hells Gate State Park where there is a Lewis & Clark Discovery Center where you can learn even more and visit a nice place here in the L/C Valley. You will not have to climb up or down into the rocks These are made to be easy finds.
It was eleven weeks before the party encountered its first Native Americans. The Otos responded well to being given gifts but did not understand the speech made by Lewis that included the following: "The great chief of the seventeen great nations of America, impelled by his parental regard for his newly adopted children on the troubled waters, has sent us out to clear the road. He has commanded his war chiefs to undertake this long journey. You are to live in peace with all the white men, for they are his children; neither wage war against the red men, your neighbours, for they are equally his children and is bound to protect them.
" When the group came to the Shoshone camp, Sacagawea was asked by Lewis what the word for white man was, but there wasn't one, so she told him the word for stranger, so he was pointing at his pale arms and saying "stranger" in the Shoshone dialect.
