Lewis and Clark/Gerometta and Berger

On July 4th, 1803, the United States paid approximately $15 million dollars for over 800,000 square miles of land. This land deal was arguably the greatest achievement of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency. In May, 1804, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to set out on an amazing expedition across the Louisiana Territory. These two brave men faced harsh conditions, unexplored lands and some hostile people.

On June 27th, 2010 The Doepper Family set out on a similar course. We faced some of the same unexplored lands, harsh conditions, and hostile people. If you have traveled by Amtrak, you know what I mean.

As many of you know I took the family out west by way of Chicago, through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and on to the Black Hills of South Dakato on our way to see our very own Mike Gerometta and Sarah Berger tie the knot! I wanted to share my experience with you along the way. We will visit the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore, the beautiful Badlands, and some unexpected stops along the way. We will wind up in Sioux City Iowa to share in the Big Day with Mike and Sarah. See picture of our Amtrak adventure, stay tuned for our visit to the Black Hills and Harneys Peak tomorrow where you will meet a real Giant!

Well Traveled Girl!

All Aboard!
