Tomorrow begins the Journey of the Corps of Discovery I have heard that we are going to be sleeping with the all the wild animals. We are allowed to pack only one bag because we don’t have enough room on the boat. I have heard that our captain is a alcoholic, will he be able to control the crew. What are we going to find out there. What will the land be like, what kind of landforms will we find. Are we going to be hurt? Will there be any females out there? What if I die will anyone find out?

It is March 1, 1804 my name is Richard. I am 38 years old ready to get this expedition going. It the night before we sail off tomorrow and I’m very nervous for I have heard many rumors about the West. I have heard of scary tales of 7ft beavers and erupting volcanoes. There are many more rumors that I have heard that frighten me just as much. I wonder if any of these are true? This worries that I might harm arm my men if we don’t have any of the right equipment along. I hope this expedition is lead well and we are all ok and we succeed in what are leader wants to and discover new more interesting things.

Tomorrow will be the beginning of the Corps of Discoveries. I am kind of nervis of dangerous animals or people that I might see along the way. I’m also exsited at the same time becuze I want to explore and learn new stuff. Along the way, I’m expecting to find different animals, plants, and what the land is like in different places. For the journey, I will bring along enough things for the different types of the weather I run into. I will bring a dog to help me find my way and keep me out of trouble. I will bring plenty of water and some food. I feel like I will learn more about the land and about what lives there. Well that’s all for now. I’ll talk to ya tomorrow!

Time is winding down until we are to begin on our grand journey. I am also growing extremely anxious, but I am nervous with it. I hope that the Corps and I stay healthy during our journey, but I know that this won't be true. We are all curious as to what the West has in store for us, and a little bit afraid too. There are rumors about eight-foot beavers and mammoths. If this happens to be true, who knows what else could be out there. I wonder what the land is like and what will be needed to get through this. It seems that it will be a long way to make it to the Pacific Ocean. We will begin tomorrow at the orders of Thomas Jefferson and explore the West to see what it is like. For now, I better get to bed even though I probably won't sleep too well. For tomorrow, we have got a long day ahead of us

 
March 1st 1804

Tomorrow is the day. I am Alexander James. I will be going to the land of unknown. We will be going to the west. We have a tough journey infront of us. We don't know what we will run into. We will be leaving our family and friends. We might never see them again, but families our praying that we will return. I have heard many things about the west. Things like 7-foot tall beavers and mounds of undisolved salt. I have also heard that the mountains will be easy to cross. The Rockies are smaller then our mountains. I am hoping the ground will not be very bumpy and rough. We are hoping to become friends with many Indian tribes, bringing presents and weapons for them. I am frightened of things that may lie in the west. I am still very antsy because I want to find new things. I don't know what to expect. The good thing about this trip is that I will be leaving with my dear friend William Clark, and brother John I have finished packing. It didn't take me long to decide what I wanted to take becuase of my few belongings. I better go to my bed and get some sleep becuase tomorrow will be a long LONG journey.
