Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center

We toured the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Washburn, just north of Bismarck North Dakota. This is near the site of Fort Mandan where Lewis and Clark spent their first winter. We are becoming experts on these two explorers having visited the interpretive center at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Ocean (2008), and having traveled along the Clearwater and Snake  Rivers earlier in this trip in Idaho. Today's Center filled in the details on the trip up the Missouri River and their meeting with Sacagawca without whose assistance they never would have made the trip to the Pacific. Dave got cold in the Center but a dead bison helped him out (though at a 20 lb weight) and Bev dressed for the discovery trip....Jefferson had insisted it be a military operation.
