Lewis & Clark Trail
Glasgow Missouri
Captain Clark's journal entry for June 10 mentions passing this area, above. Several information signs, described the Corps passing, are located along the riverfront walk in Glasgow. There's a nice viewing platform extending out from the bluff for a great view of the river. Locust trees were blossoming in late May 2008. If locust trees were growing in this area in 1804, they would have had blossoms in early June. The Corps may have seen locust trees in bloom. However, no Expedition member's journal mentions them.
From Glasgow, I returned south down MO HWY 87 in search of the Lewis & Clark June 9, 1804 campsite. The June 10-11 campsite would be too remote to locate. There was no indication on the Corps of Engineers map of a sign there.
