Home Sweet Home

Well, we've finally made it back to St. Louis. It actually only took us half the time to get back! Anyways, we only lost the one crew man! Every one else came back unhealthy. But they were happy and alive! Each of us will recieve huge payments for this discovery, I can't wait to get my check! Lol

The Great Pacific!

Hoorah! We've finally did it! We've sighted the Pacific Ocean! After TWO WHOLE YEARS! We've built our third fort, so that we can last through the winter. There is also an indian tribe who has given us aid and trade. There is only one problem, how do we get home? Uh-oh... -_-;

Fork in the Road...

We've just hit an unexpected split in the river. We're having a hard time deciding wich way would be best. Either side could lead us into other countrys' territory (Either Spain or England). That could lead to some very bad news! Anyways we also lost our first crew member, but we could not hold a long ceremony, for winter was coming on faster everyday...

Indian Attack!

Lol, just kidding about the attack, we finally met an Indian Tribe! However, I was a little worried about having to tell them that The United States bought their land without their permission. But, they took it better than I expected them to. They even let us trade and resupply for the journey! We also got a navigator for the rest of the expedition! Yay! :D

Muddy Missouri...

Oh no! We've finally hit the famous muddy Missouri! The only way to get across is to have most of the crew get in the mud, while the rest walk the length of the ship with oars. Glad I don't have to do it!
P.S.- This trip is dangerous! The first day out, I almost got myself killed while doing research!

Leaving St. Louis!

Hoorah! We are finally leaving tiny little St. Louis for the wide open Louisiana! We hand picked every crew member, so I know that we'll be the best crew ever! However we only brought one slave,the good part is that we have less crew to take up supplies. But it also means a smaller manpower.
