  • This is where Clark wrote in his journal: "...we are in view of the opening of the Ocian, which creates great Joy. ... (Clark, November 7, 1805, first draft) "...Ocian in view! Oh! the Joy. ... (Clark, November 15, 1805 in distance for November 7) The expedition backtracked and camped here again on November 25, 1805 to find a narrower section to cross the Columbia River.
