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!

Nebraska


Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery reached near Nebraska City on July 19, 1804 and left Nebraska in August 24, 1804.  During their stay in Nebraska and crossing the river to Iowa and South Dakota, the Corps met with the Otoe tribe at Council Bluffs.
