July 18, 2013 – We got the oil changed in the truck and
visited the Lewis and Clark
Museum. The museum is run
by the National Park Service and is great. I did not know that there are 5
waterfalls on the Missouri River at Great
Falls, MT that Lewis
and Clark took 3 weeks to portage their equipment around on their trip west. It
has been fun following parts of the Lewis and Clark adventure. Our tour guide
in St Louis told us their trip was to go see for
President Thomas Jefferson what he had purchased from France. In the Missouri
River there was a large flock of white pelicans. They were on
their way north for the summer. We saw on our boat trip to Nashville thousands of them on their way
south. They looked like large white islands in the Cumberland
River. We had a Dairy Queen Dinner.
