Lewis and Clark

As Lewis and Clark went down the Missouri River they saw amazing things. Herds of buffalo ran across the plains with Indians chasing them. When they were walking they saw huge waterfalls roaring down, and they saw Indian encampments. They saw the Pacific Ocean’s towering waves, the wildlife, and the grizzly bears. They smelled burning campfires cooking buffalo meat. They smelled the Indians smoking the peace pipe. As they worked the explorers smelled different smells that were wonderful like pine trees. They heard mosquitoes buzzing around them and the ocean waves crashing. Water trickled down into the streams and waterfalls roared. They heard the coyotes howling. They experienced buffalo meat and salmon for the first time. As they moved up the river they tasted new things like salt water and dog meat. Lewis brought horrible soup for emergencies. They felt buffalo hides and deer skin. And they finally got back and heard the cheers of people, saw the people shouting, felt the people crowding around them, smelled good food, and finally they tasted the food.
