Today we spotted a Missouri Beaver swimming using its webbed hind feet. The beaver is a very large bulky rodent with a rounded head and rounded ears. Also has a flat tail and dark brown fur. The missouri beaver is about 3 to 4 feet in hight and weighs between 44 to 60 pounds. When we first saw the beaver swimming as fast as it was we thought that it was a fish then we discovered it was the missouri beaver.

Lewis vs. Clark

Both men were hard muscled and six feet tall. Captain clark was a better boats men than Captain Lewis. Captain Lewis was a better navigator than Captain Clark. Captain Clark was a better map maker than Captain Lewis. Captain Lewis was a better botanist and biologist. Captain Clark took comfort in the company of men, talked easily with them, and enjoyed a good laugh. Captain Lewis was partial to solitude, a man of few words, but there was strength in those long silences. What one lacked the other had. The tribe had two chiefs but they would lead as one. 

I thought that a daily blog post was a lot, but lewis and clark kept journal entries for everyday. They had to be very specific in what the saw and experienced that day because there journal entries were the story and proof of there whole trip. The cool thing was that they got to spell words however they liked. I would love it if in english or in any class we could spell how we want to and use slang like yo wat u up 2.
