On October 27th,
and from the capitol in Nashville Tennessee,
the Nimblewill Nomad began yet another grand
adventure, a journey through the "Old
Southwest," down the historic
Natchez Trace National Scenic
Trail.
The driving purpose behind Odyssey 2003 was
to visit the grave of
Meriwether Lewis, at Meriwether
Lewis Monument
in Lewis County Tennessee, where rests
the remains of that great explorer and
statesman who took his own life at a place
called
Grinder's Stand.
Surely, there
is no man alive today, save, perhaps, Norman
Miller, who's spent more time with Lewis
and Clark. And so it was to be expected, to
begin
Odyssey 2004, the Nimblewill Nomad would
pass the grave of
William Clark in
Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis.
Thus, during these odysseys has the old
Nomad traveled with the
Corps of Discovery, lived with them --
and thus does he know them well.
