Buck,
I think the article to which you refer is in either Popular Science or
Popular Mechanics. What was found was at the "Lower Portage Camp." The
artifacts recoved consisted of a possible wooden tent stake, a large flawed
gun flint, and a metal push pin such as you would put in a bulletin board
(or perhaps hold paper down). There was also three fire rings at regular
intervals and in a straight line, and, I believe, some disturbed soil that
indicated a three-legged pot. The articles found are on display at the
Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. Until recently, KOA had some photos on
the web of the dig and the artifacts, but the page is now gone. This camp
is about 18 miles from where the iron boat was cached. The same
archeologist, has moved to the "Upper Portage Camp" but as of last summer
had still found nothing. His name is Ken Karsmizki. So far, any evidence
of actual Lewis and Clark campsites has been hard to come by--even when the
specific site is known. Karsmizki spent several years to find what little
he could at the Lower Camp. I don't think the Corps of Discovery wasted
much.

that was the correct name of magazine), that told of finding parts of the
iron boat and a few issues later talked of find the remains of several large
iron kettles, set at 10' points in a line - standard setup for a military
unit in those days, along with iron tent stakes, all where found on the
Upper Missouri.

...<<<how can you look and call>>>>>.....
Oops....sorry John..... I quess I should have said "it kinda looks like the cast iron pot I have so mebbe it could be a cast iron pot!"
With all the stuff I've read the past week or two, a few off you folks may be in denial.... If you just look at one item, or maybe one source, or one article, I can see where some would feel a cast iron "Dutch Oven" didn't happen in the period we're looking at. Add all the pieces together and you may come to a different point of view.
A few folks still think the world is flat...an dam if ya can't change thier minds...
Ymos,
Steve
