We took a day off and checked out the Lewis & Clark Festival. This was a re-enactment of the winter in Great Falls. We listened to an interpretation on the methods used by Clark to map where they went. Considering the primitive methods they had available, the maps Clark produced were not far off the mark in accuracy. There were several pelts on display, as well as rifles from the time. One guy was actually skinning a recently killed beaver.

Some of the examples of tools Clark may have used to measure distance to help him make his maps of the expedition.
