Geocache Description:

We are taking you to more of the Lewis and Clark sculpture artwork along the lewis and Clark trail.

You are looking for a magnetic chapstick tube behind one of the sculptures.

Leaving Fort Clatsop, Oregon on March 23, 1806, the Corps of Discovery began their journey home. Having survived a winter of sickness, monotonous diet, and dreary weather, the impatient explorers departed after gifting Fort Clatsop to a Clatsop leader.

It had been almost two years since they had left Wood River, Illinois in May of 1804. The explorers were backtracking across familiar terrain and their previous route, however they would alter their path after passing the great falls of the Columbia. Trading canoes for horses the explorers continued their journey by land to the Walla Walla (Walula) Indians. Camping among the tribe for two days, Chief Yelleppit informed them of an overland shortcut to the Nez Perce. This route took the party across present towns of Waitsburg, Dayton, and Pomeroy, Washington.
