Savvy Traveler - Biking With Lewis & Clark (06/01/01)

Feature Image

Barrett Golding and a friend are biking the route of Lewis and Clark's famous expedition up the Missouri River from St. Louis to Fort Mandan. No, they're not actually bicycling in the river, and yes, we will be catching up with them later in the summer, but we thought we should check in with Barrett beforehand to see how the preparations were coming.

The "Great Pains and Accuracy" Tour is named after Jefferson's 1803 instructions to Lewis: "Your observations are to be taken with great pains and accuracy, to be entered distinctly and intelligibly, for others as well as yourself."

This show comes from HearingVoices.com, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
