路易斯、克拉克及大瀑布運輸
最後，辛苦將近一個月後，運輸工作終告完成。部隊成員及他們的裝備終於到達了瀑布的另一邊。他們建了幾艘新的船以取代那些被他們留在另一邊的船。直到1805年7月15日，他們才又開始在密穌裡河上的旅程。雖然他們的進度已落後一個月，但卻很高興終於穿越了大瀑布。他們的下一個挑戰將是找到馬匹並跨越洛磯山脈！
Finally, after nearly a month of hard labor, the portage was complete. The Corps and their equipment were on the other side of the falls. They built new boats to replace the one left behind. They started back on their journey on the Missouri River on July 15, 1805. They were more than a month behind schedule, but happy to be past the Great Falls. Their next challenges were to find horses and make it over the Rocky Mountains!
