About This Item

Cross Ranch Seaman begins his journey

"The greatest traveler of my species. My name is Seaman, the dog of Captain Meriwether Lewis, whom I accompanied to the Pacific Ocean through the interior of the continent of North America." This was reportedly written on the collar worn by Seaman after his return.

Seaman's journey with the Corps of Discovery began when Captain Lewis purchased the Newfoundland dog for $20 in 1803. Seaman served as a hunter, retriever, early warning system against grizzly bears, guard dog, faithful companion, and even saved the captain's lives. Some reports indicate that Seaman may have stayed with Lewis until his death in 1809, and may have even remained at his master's grave until he also died.

Seaman, the travel bug companion, starts his journey from Cross Ranch State Park in central North Dakota.

Who let the dog out? Seaman is out and about somewhere. He's listed as being in our cache, but we just checked the cache today, and he's not there. I hope he finds his way to a new home soon!

Didn't have plans to travel along his destination, so thought best to drop him somewhere so he can at least keep moving. I hope he enjoyed his brief stop here.

What a cute little guy. Guess we will have to do a little research on the Lewis and Clark Trail, as that is his mission.

Found this TB while caching in Arizona. Thought that this poochie looked like it could use a break from the heat. I see from the picture that he is used to the cold and snow.
