Lewis & Clark Trail
Hermann Missouri

I doubled back to Washington from Marthasville. The prospect for information looked better along the south side of the river on HWY 100. At Colter's Landing - on Boef Creek near John Colter's possible farm site - nothing turned up that I didn't know already. At Hermann there was a good look at the river in the direction of the May 26, '04 camp near the southern end of Loutre Island. Here, Captains Lewis & Clark divided the crew into three messes under Sgts Floyd, Ordway, and Pryor. These three groups would go to the Pacific and back with L&C.
