Reenactors are often told they are "Historical Travelers" in the way they walk the paths and try to relive the experiences of people from previous years. But for a real historical travel, perhaps nothing can match the outstanding reenactment event of the year: the Lewis and Clark Expedition on the 200th anniversary of the original trek.

Peter Geery and almost 300 people in all will reenact the voyage by going down the Ohio River, then up the Mississippi, then up the Missouri River, through 2003-2005. In all, they should cover about 1,500 miles of water-road, at about the same speed as the original expedition. Along the river, they will camp at sites near or on the original campsites of the first expedition.
