2025 ROADTRIP — RETRACING THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL

Kicking off on May 6th at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest in Lynchburg, Virginia, Clay set out to retrace Lewis and Clark’s celebrated 1804-1806 expedition across the continent. Clay will trace the Lewis and Clark expedition from Virginia, where it was conceived in the imagination of Thomas Jefferson, all the way down the Ohio River, up the Mississippi and Missouri, over the Bitterroot Mountains, down the Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia rivers — and back again.

Traveling in a 23-foot Airstream, Clay’s expedition is a central part of LTA’s big initiative to take the pulse of America as it approaches its 250th birthday.
