Come through here, and I'll photograph you for the paper. We're always looking for people doing strange things. :-) Don't pass me by. I know some people who have done serious research on this topic, Especially for this area. The expedition spent Independence Day near Atchison, Kansas. I know a great restaurant right near there whose chef used to cook for the governor of Alaska. He's great! Have you read "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose? Outstanding biography on Merriweather Lewis. NPR interviewed Sam Abell last year. He talked about doing his book with Ambrose. Might want to look that up in their archive.
