#2 Fort Clatsop NM

This is a picture from Fort Clatsop NM, now known as Lewis & Clark NHP, located near Astoria, Oregon. It is a replica of the fort that Lewis, Clark and the corps of discovery wintered in during the winter of 1804-05. The men complained often about this fort because the weather was dreary and relations with the local Indians weren't as friendly as they had been the previous winter with the Mandan Indians of North Dakota.

Here is the rest of the set from my September 2000 visit-
