Here's a ten minute look at our five month expedition down the Missouri River paddling a dugout canoe. Enjoy the scenery!

Backstory: Thomas J. Elpel had the unique opportunity to carve a dugout canoe with Churchill Clark, the great-great-great-great grandson of Captain Clark. Together they whittled a 10,000 lb. Douglas fir log down to a 500+ lb. canoe.

Tom then led a five month "Missouri River Corps of Rediscovery" expedition with friends and former students, paddling this 2,341-mile segment of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail from Three Forks, Montana to St. Louis, Missouri. Throughout the journey, Tom wrote a weekly column that was published by newspapers in Montana and across the Midwest.

Tom's book, Five Months on the Missouri River, expands on the story told in the newspapers, with more text and hundreds of photos chronicling the adventure.
