Roll On Colombia, Roll on.......

Today in History, (Sounded just a little like Walter Cronkite there didn't I? ) -grin-

In 1805 the Lewis and Clark expedition reached the Pacific Ocean after a journey across the North American continent lasting about 6 months.

And no, even if they were in the Pacific North West, they didn't find a Starbucks and have a double latte when they arrived. They built a fort on the south side of the Colombia river, to winter over until they could head back to the east which they did in March of 1806.
