Just sharing some of my travels of the Lewis and Clark Trail.  Over the past 9 years I spend many summer months following and photographing the Lewis and Clark campsites and other sites of interest on their Trail.  This past summer I picked up the Trail in Great Falls and travels over to the edges of the Lolo Trail again.  But my most interesting trip was to Ivy, Virginia and finally locating the Lewis family farm/plantation and to Cairo, Illinois at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.  At this confluence is the known campsite where Lewis taught Clark most of what he knew about navigational instruments.  Nearby the confluence is Fort Mattac where the captains hired Drouillard and camped for several days.

New pictures on my site include extensive pictures of Agency Creek Road (in Idaho) that Clark traveled to on their way to Northfork of the Salmon and Lost Trail Pass.

Last week I finally made it to the location of Tavern Cave (Rock) in Missouri and challenge all to tackle the 1 1/2 mile hike to the cave. 

For those not familiar with my travels, I recently published the GPS coordinates of roughly 1,100 known Lewis and Clark campsites and many other sites mentioned and documented in their Journals. 

A link to my 4,000+ pictures can be found below.
