Lewis and Clark State Historic Site

Cake Journal

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Site is the number one site on Lewis and Clark. You can visit and see a replica of the 1803-04 winter  encampment, Camp Dubois. President Thomas Jefferson proposed the expedition westward to the Pacific Ocean, stressing the importance of discovering commercial opportunity.

But there would be much more discovered.

Lewis and Clark and their crew kept entries in journals of their discoveries. They maintained a weather diary for noting weather and climate observations and also included astronomical observations.

They wrote about the land forms, people and tribes they met and the plants and animals they saw. The cake has animals and plants that Lewis and  Clark 'discovered'. 

I wonder what Sacagawea thought about these new discoveries when she lived with them all her life.
