photo, above, shows Strawberry Island where Captain Clark and Joseph
Fields hiked toward "Beaten Rock" on Oct. 31, 1805. On the
return journey in April, 1806, Clark would officially name it "
Beacon Rock" . It's one of the few geographic spots that has
retained the name designated by Lewis and Clark. Although Clark arrived
at Strawberry Island before getting to Beacon Rock, I only discovered
the importance of the island in LC lore from the interpretive sign
at Beacon Rock and had to backtrack to explore the island. |
