I would like to do a caravan in 2010 of the Lewis and Clark Trail from St. Louis, MO to Fort Clapsop, OR. I am willing to put it all together if I have some willing help. Bertie is willing to do Nebraska and I am willing to do Montana and Idaho. Darlene Gahring will do Kansas. Would you be willing to help in this endeavor and volunteer as a leader for South Dakota or North Dakota or Oregon? If we all pitch in it will be an easy trip—the SIs have done this and Donna Huffer took really good notes of places to stay.  We don’t have to reinvent the wheel so to speak. If you have any suggestions or comments please email me at carolyndbaird@yahoo.com or call me at 208-733-2058.

I am happy to report that the following WINers have volunteered to help put this summer caravan together—if you have any information to help the volunteers please give them a call. I am hopefully planning a kayak trip down the Missouri River from Fort Benton for 1 week or so and the others will plan to go to Glacier Nat’l Park meeting around Missoula to continue the trip...
