We drove across Montana on our honeymoon and stopped at Pompei's Rock. We would proceed to Yellowstone and stay at the Roosevelt Lodge at the Northern entrance to Yellowstone.

This grafitti covered rock, (Indian petroglyphs, Clarke's signature and even Gen Custer's signature a year before the Little Bighorn), attest to the vibrant/historic point on the Clarke Expedition route and later the Oregon Trail settlers!

Montana's Summer fun!

"-- he liked dog even better than elk."

Of course he did, 'cause it was probably cooked by the tribe they were passing through.

I don't think they took dogs along on their trek. Nor, would there be "wild dogs" to hunt, unless you are talking about wolf or coyote.

The tribal feast would have been the first western diners for passing tourists.

Of course, dogs performed many functions for some tribes, such as security alarms and pulling travious, before horses
were introduced to the Americas.

"Though he missed discovering Yellowstone Park by about 40 miles, he secured his place in history further east."

He would't have had enough money to get in anyway.

After years in the Boy Scouts and US Army, my idea of "roughing it" these days, is *slow room service*. LOL.

Good thing Jefferson was single. That way he didn't need the 48 hour rule.

I traveled the Lewis and Clark trail in 2003. I tried to stay as true to the spirit of the Corps of Discovery as possible, except we went by car, stayed in nice hotels, ate in restaurants, used cell phones, laptops and flew home from Portland.

Other than that, we really roughed-it!

*snort* I'm going to save this for our son to read when he's doing US History this year, along with "Undaunted Courage", of course. ;o)

And if I did somehow manage to shoot one, I wouldn't have a clue how to eat it. I mean, what part do you eat? You can definitely rule out the eyeballs, but then what? You just pick up a haunch and start chewing? I don't even know what a haunch is.

LOL...
