The following articles, written by Nan Kaeser, appeared in our Chapter’s newsletter Golden Notes and are posted here at Nan’s request.

The two articles that are posted were “reports from The Trail” that Nan provided during her four month long adventure in the last year of the Bicentennial when she followed the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail (LCNHT) eastward from Lewiston, Idaho, to St. Louis, Missouri. Other articles by Nan are posted in the Western Montana and Idaho Forum.

Nan is a “globe trekker extraordinaire” and lives (some of the time) in Sierra Madre, California.

Her articles are posted via links to our Chapter’s website. Clicking on these links should take you directly to the newsletter containing her article. Once there, you may need to scroll down to the indicated page where her article begins.

Also posted is a PDF of her article about Cross Ranch State Park. (PDFs of her other articles are too large to be posted.)

Chamberlain, South Dakota

At the interstate rest area in Chamberlain, South Dakota, there is a surprise on the back of the building. If you go in and up the stairs, you will find yourself in a keel boat replica. Working your way to the back of the building, the stern of the boat extends out from the building. There is a nice view of the Missouri river from this vantage point.

Do you ever take pictures and then wish you knew for sure where you had taken them? These were taken somewhere west of Fort Mandan in North Dakota. But where?

Photography tips for South Dakota

While it’s not completely about the Lewis and Clark Trail, I thought some people might be interested in my blog about great sites for photography in South Dakota. I try to point out places with interesting subject matter, best times to be there for good light, weather trends, etc. And I do (and will in the future) cover the Missouri River and the Lewis and Clark Trail and surrounding areas.

I added a copy of a brochure that we picked up here
