Memories of the "In the Wake of Lewis & Clark" Tour

Saturday, October 29 ~ November 2005



Sixteen MSU alumni travelers and friends boarded the Linblad Expedition Sea Bird ship in Portland, Oregon, on October 29th. Six days later we returned having observed and experienced a small glimpse of the fabulous part of our country that Lewis & Clark and their Corps of Discovery traversed over 200 years ago.
