But like Lewis and Clark, we carry virtually everything we need in our boats.
White pelicans are a common sight in the Breaks.
Hunters, of course, particularly Canadian George Drewyer, kept the Lewis and Clark expedition well supplied with game. We opt for cereal and powdered milk, peanut butter and jam, and drinking water carried in 2.5-gallon bags. The river along the Breaks poses no serious challenges to canoe navigation. Unlike the steamboats that plied the Missouri's currents in the latter half of the 19th century, our nimble craft can negotiate shallows and rapids with ease. The incessant headwinds, however, give us a good workout.
