15 September 2014
Got up and had a light breakfast and then left from the
campsite to do a ‘run-walk’ for 6 miles through the park.
After getting back for showers, we headed back across the
river to the Lewis and Clark Information Center in Nebraska (just across from
the camper). We spent 3 hours there
learning about the Missouri River, the Corps of Engineers and even the Lewis
and Clark Expedition.
While we were on the Nebraska side of the river, we took a
2-mile hike down through the Calumet Chalk Cliffs where Lewis and Clark first
had the 4-day meeting with the Sioux natives before getting on with their
expedition.
After a late afternoon gourmet luncheon of cheese and
sausage in the X5 we travelled back to Yankton to the old bridge across the
river for another 1.5-mile hike.
We checked out a couple of hikes for tomorrow morning here
in Yankton and then plan to make fairly short drive up along the Missouri River
to Highway 44 where we’ll probably start heading west.
