Captain lewis decided to leave the corps and scout ahead for any sign of the Shoshones. He, Sacagawea, and group of men, went with him.In my curiousity I decided to go with them as well. We searched almost everywhere following the river and searching the plains. As we followed a small creek we could put one foot on each side of it. As we followed the creek we came to the end of it. And this was the start point of the great Missouri river. We bent down to drink and where amazed that such a large river could start from this small little pond. As we began to lose hope we spotted what was a Indian on a horse. He had a rifle and was scrawny. We immediatly put down our weapons and asked Sacagawea what "friend" was in Shoshone. As we shouted what we thought was "friend" we quickly galloped off as fast as he could. Latter we found out that Sacagawea had misunderstood and we were shouting "stranger" and "enemy". Captain Clark with a heavy heart sighed and picked up his rifle.
