The great Falls of the Missouri June 13, 1805

Finally! We have made it to the great falls of the Missouri river. I can only stare in awe of how amazing and beautiful they are...... I am extremely glad that the captains made the right decision at the fork and we are on our way to the Pacific ocean. The falls are such a sight i am not sure if i can describe them in my words but i will try. The falls roar from the top of the Missouri falling onto rocks with rapids in between every section of the river . We  still run into different types of grizzlies and other animals that can provide problems. One of the animals that has been extremely annoying are the beavers. They dam up the river with their wood and make it extremely hard to navigate around them.The Shoshones still elude us as we search for them to provide us with pack horses to help carry our equipment over the rocky mountains. Sacagawea is starting to remember the country that she grew up in and I am confident that she will lead us to the Shoshones. Above is a picture of the great falls of the Missouri.
