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!

South Dakota

Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery reached South Dakota on August 22 and left on October 14, 1804. While in South Dakota, the Expedition had their historic confrontation with the Lakota Tribe (the Teton Sioux).

South Dakota is known as the Mount Rushmore State.
The state motto is Under God the people rule.
It was the 40th state to join the union on November 2, 1889.
