The main idea is to do a road trip, starting in St Louis, near the Gateway Arch and follow 3,700 miles of river, prairie, mountain, and forest to the Pacific Ocean. Of course, we will have our ham radio gear with us. We plan to activate a few SOTA summits but most of the radio action will be Parks On The Air (POTA). We plan to camp at quite a few parks that have a specific connection to Lewis and Clark (and there are many to choose from.) Not only that, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is itself a listed POTA entity, US-4572, running the full length from St. Louis to the Pacific.https://www.k0nr.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/NPS-Lewis-and-Clark-Trail-banner.jpg1024299
