It’s March 1, 1804. My name is Jory Stratford. I am a 23year old man and I have been picked to go on the Lewis and Clark journey. It is the night before the trip. I am waiting to start this outgoing adventure. I am extremely scared though. I have heard things that there are seven-foot beavers out there. I am more scared than not about this trip, its possible that I might not make it back to my family. I have a wife named Megan. She has all faith that I’m going to make it back…but you never know. I’m going to a unknown area. I wonder how long this trip is going to take. This is a once and a lifetime chance…I don’t know what I’m doing leaving and this is suppose to be very dangerous but I’m excited and ill keep in touch.
