I thought I would share this article on our river--the Missouri, " the Greatest Highway the US Ever Had", on the bank of which we live, just across from Alton, Illinois, where Lewis and Clark set sail on their keel boat to explore the continent, 200 years ago. St. Charles, the town featured on the story, is about six miles upriver from us. BTW, the article failed to mention that St. Charles County was the fastest growing county in the whole of USA two or three years back. The legacy of the French still remain around us. Our Post Office is Florissant, a very French name, with streets like Rue this and Rue that--the historic town next doors. And yes, the wildlife is amazing. I will write something about it shortly, an unique experience I had the other day. cm [EMAIL PROTECTED] /-------------------- advertisement -----------------------\ Explore more of Starbucks at Starbucks.com. http://www.starbucks.com/default.asp?ci=1015 \----------------------------------------------------------/ Along the Missouri, Life Ebbs and Flows June 1, 2003 By TIMOTHY EGAN Much of the land bought in the Louisiana Purchase is being drained of people on the 200th anniversary of the event, which doubled the size of the United States. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/01/national/01LEWI.html?ex=1055481600&ei=1&en=23256474e6d3c7c1 --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
