Koch Korps Departs
On the evening of April 7, 1804, when the L&C Expedition headed out on the second leg of their journey, M. Lewis wrote in his journal:
". . . the picture which now presented itself to me was a most pleasing one, entertaining as I do, the most confident hope of succeading [his spelling] in a voyage which had formed a darling project of mine for the last ten years, I could but esteem this moment of my departure the most happy of my life."
I've had a fascination with the Lewis and Clark expedition for over 20 years. While I wouldn't call this "moment of departure the most happy of my life", I am certainly excited about it.
On Sunday, we cover a part of the trip that took the expedition about 4 months to travel in their keelboat and pirogues. A pickup and a popup are definite advantages!
More later . . .
