Lewis & Clark Trail
Captain Lewis arrived from St Louis on May 20th and the Corps of Discovery continued its ascent of the Missouri the next morning - leaving the last major white population until their return. I continued along the river on state highway 94. It roughly follows the north side of the Missouri from St Charles to Jefferson City. The Corps stopped near Weldon Spring Conservation Area May 22, 1804. By now, Lewis was walking the hills and fields classifying plants and animals. He may have seen flowers and blue stem grass like these.
