I hope all American school children still know about Meriwether Lewis. On our way back home Prince and I stopped by the grave site which is located just off Natchez Trace. Them monument is located at the very end of an exit an you can easily circle around the monument. 
There was a family gathering near the old house with children running here and there and others riding bikes, scooter and skate boards. A game of friendly horse shoes was being watched. It took a moment to get a photo without folks . The following four photos are close ups of the monument on all four sides.
You can click on the photos to enlarge them so they can be easily read. While I was taking photos, two very large campers came along around the circle and the ladies got out but the gentlemen were not interested in history.
I was always intrigued by the historical event of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and remember how wide eyed I would listen to the teacher as she talked about their trip.
The kitty justice is their expedition started my love of history.

I didn't realize he died so young though. MB
need someone who understands, so true. Love, Merle.
I think it would be fun to travel the same trails that they travelled. You need to go off the LAZY excuse and treat us to your bird photos. Peace
