Trailing Lewis & Clark
A modern-day mom of three sets out on a journey to photograph the sites along what would have been the route Lewis and Clark took during their expedition more than 200 years ago.
I would depart in Illinois and head west to Oregon, stopping along the way often to photograph nature, the people and the scenes of the journey, especially along the waterways. My goal is to capture nature along this route to show not only how it's changed, but also how it has remained much the same. The goal would be to find the hidden gems, the untouched forests, the clean streams, the wildlife, the remaining families of Native Americans who at one time helped the famous duo survive and accomplish their amazing feat. I have thought of this a lot since visiting the Fort Clatsop area in Astoria, Oregon, a couple years ago. The area is breathtaking now, as I'm sure it was then. I would like to print the entire series in black and white.

Quality, quality stuff.
would be a good history lesson!
Great idea...filled with nature, history, and intrigue. The trail also brings you right past our house!
You will love it - when you get there!
GREAT idea!
Sounds like a beautiful idea!
would also be a great book! kind of a bill bryson-style thing.
I like your idea!
I voted for you; will you vote for me? Let's do this and see how it turns out. Let's help each other!
Good luck!
Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!
I love this idea! check out mine and Pic it if youd like! Congo here I come...
Awesome idea! Wonderful dream & Best of luck! You have my "PIC" - please take a second to read about my cause - furthering peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East and around the world! Thank you!
I'm voting for you -- feel free to return the favor and vote for my project on land seizures, political upheaval and the overall struggles of daily life in Zimbabwe.
voted on this one too, good luck.
