Last night the commander, myself, and our friend Ray Kerns went skiing along the Missouri River. The ski trail is almost exactly where Lewis and Clark spent the winter with the Mandan Indians. The trail is withing one hundred yards of the village. The moon was full, and our treck through the woods was very pleasant. Geese were bedded down on the river by the thousands. I never new geese slept in the water, but looking down from the banks of the river we could see them around the edges of a sandbar in the water resting for then night. Huge chunks of ice moved quickly down the river and crashed into the banks. In the next day or two if the weather stays right we may make the trip again.
