Geocache Description:

In this trail of caches you will learn about the Expedition of the Corps Of Discoverers. Each and every cache is going to have information about what they went through along their way.

August 30, 1806 - The camp was two miles above the camp of September 9, 1804, in Gregory County, South Dakota. The Corps had an unsettling confrontation with a band of 80-90 Lakota warriors led by Black Buffalo. Clark walked out to parley with them, and told them that the Corps would have nothing to do with them; that the Corps would kill any Lakota who attempted to approach the camp.

Sept. 14, 1806 - The camp was opposite Leavenworth, Kansas on Route 45 at Beverly, Missouri. Three keelboats sailing up from St. Louis to trade with the Yanktons gave the men liquor, biscuits, cheese and onions. The Corps had a dram of spirits and sang songs until 11 p.m.
