In 2006, I was doing a Lewis and Clark thing, and you can't do Lewis and Clark
without seeing the Columbia River Gorge.
It's an impressive river, the only river route through the Cascades.
I encountered the river twice, once in Washington where I-90 crosses
the Columbia, and the other was following the Columbia River Gorge from
Portland to I-82 where I-84 turns to the Southwest as the river turns to
the North.

Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (ND, Fort Mandan) |
|
Fort Mandan was where the Corps spent their first winter.
Or at least someplace around where the replica fort is today, it's true location is
unknown.
The interpretive center is new and a couple miles from the Fort, which has
it's own visitor's center.
I purposely avoided a bus tour, and got me a private tour of the Fort. It was
actually a pretty cool tour.
