Lewis & Clark Trail
Lexington Missouri
Clark's journal has included passages similar to this one for the past several days. He realized that the terrain was indeed changing. Fields north of Lexington reveal the change. Extensive flat vistas- now corn fields - were more frequent. Muddy conditions closed a road I had planned to take to the June 19 campsite. The June 20 campsite was too far from the present river to investigate. A campsite now in a farmers field would be impossible to locate without a sign. A site near the river is easier to approximate the location. Top right, logs in the river gave the Corps trouble daily.
