Some of you know that we have been Lewis & Clark buffs. We started in 2004 at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri, 200 years to the day the expedition started out. Now there are few miles of their paths that we have not retraced.
View of the pillar from the entrance to the national monument.

Rocks and River. That's "it" for me.
