I'd certainly be interested in whatever George finds out about Lewis and Clark's navigation. Off and on, for some years, I've been working their equal altitudes, lunars, and altitude-azimuths for magnetic variation. It's fun and easy some times. Other times it's baffling. I wore out my patience earlier this year trying to figure out what was going on with their chronometer during the Great Falls portage. A new insight from George might be rejuvenating. Richard — Schedule plenty of time for the Forest Service's Lewis and Clark center in Great Falls. Also, the national headquarters of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation is in Great Falls. Besides good people, they have a good library. Bruce
