Lewis and Clark were Studs!

Today, we visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Grand Falls, Montana.  It was AWESOME!  We learned so much!!  I highly recommend you take the time to visit, if you are anywhere near here.  It is amazing how they planned for a trip that had so many unknowns.  No man had traveled by land from Atlantic to Pacific.  Also, they thought the West mirrored the East.  They thought the Rockies mountains were farther south and similar to Appalachian Mountains.  They crossed through territories of 50 different indian tribes.  Have you ever had to buy a present for someone you didn’t know?  They had to have presents for a multitude of indians they did not know.  They were the first white men to see the Great Falls.  They had no idea there were 5 waterfalls.  They had to portage their canoes and carry their supplies by hand or makeshift wagons for 18 miles.  Absolutely Fascinating!  I could go on and on with all I learned today.
