There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with my girls. The freedom that comes with homeschooling allows me to pursue opportunities to travel and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand! Welcome to our blog about planning our next big adventure, the Lewis and Clark Trail! The three of us girls plan on a 40+ day adventure of learning all we can about the biology, botany, geography, geology, economics, and civics (and more) associated with the Corps of Discovery journey of 1804-1806. Join us on our journey!

Why Did Lewis and Clark Make the Journey?

There were a few goals for the Corps of Discovery Expedition.  They included:

  • Exploring the Louisiana Purchase, 
  • Finding a route to the Pacific Ocean, 
  • Establish contact and trading with Native Americans, 
  • Collecting specimens for additional study, and  
  • Documenting American presence throughout the Pacific Northwest and Oregon Country.
