Lewis and Clark Expedition of Rediscovery

Service Learning Week

Student Affairs WCU

On February 28, 1803, President Thomas Jefferson won approval from Congress for a visionary project, an endeavor that would become one of America's greatest stories of adventure. Lewis and Clark's Outbound Route Shown in Red, Inbound in Blue. Twenty-five hundred dollars were appropriated to fund a small expeditionary group, whose mission was to explore the uncharted West. Jefferson called the group the Corps of Discovery. It would be led by Jefferson's secretary, Meriwether Lewis, and Lewis' friend,William Clark. Over the next four years, the Corps of Discovery would travel thousands of miles, experiencing lands, rivers and peoples that few Americans ever had before.

Our plan has taken us the entire length of the original Lewis and Clark expedition (2003-2005) under our own power!

2005: Missoula, Montana to Astoria, Oregon   2004: Wolf Point, MT to Fort Benton, MT -PICS!   2003: St Louis MO. to Yankton, SD.

2005 Missoula, Montana to Astoria, Oregon We are in the process of planning the last 700 miles of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of Rediscovery for the summer of 2005. If you would like to join the group this summer please let us know as soon as possible. Our course this summer will bring us through the most difficult terrain yet as we pass over and through the Rocky Mountains, the Continental Divide in Montana and Idaho, then up and down and up and down and up and down… through the Polouse of southeastern Washington state; then into the strong head winds of the Columbia River Gorge. My wife Therese and I actually rode this in 1986 while Therese was riding across the United States. I remember it to be beautiful and difficult. As you folks already know by now difficulty only reveals and builds character. . Supporters of Talent Search's Corps of Rediscovery
