Traveling low and slow in Cloud Chaser, a twin-engine kit plane designed specifically for photography and slow flight, these adventurers invite you to climb into the cockpit where you will feel the aerial freedom of soaring over the Missouri River and beyond the treacherous Rocky Mountains . . . over cities large and small . . . above lush prairies and fertile farmlands . . . through badlands and deep canyons . . . to the coastal beauty of the Pacific Ocean.
Eavesdrop on cockpit conversations that provide a glimpse into the creative mind of a photographer who pauses at near stall speed to frame and shoot unique compositions of landscape and wildlife, who weathers the challenges of high winds and hazards of wildfires to capture magnificent images.

Listen as a writer interacts with Native Americans, ranchers, farmers, aviators, park rangers and historians reenacting events from yesteryear to recount an engaging story and preserve a new segment of American history.

Chasing Lewis and Clark Across America offers a fresh perspective—a view from above, if you will—on that great adventure. Through stunning photographs that span from the muddy Missouri River to the tumultuous Pacific Ocean, the adventure comes to life, revealing America’s soul with breathtaking scenes of winding rivers and their peaceful valleys, high plains blooming bright with yellow canola, a perilous staircase of snow-capped mountains. Ground-level scenes preserve flowers, faces and places like treasured works of art. From the virgin wilderness that Lewis and Clark discovered to cities with monolithic creations by man, the collection of photos is like a tightly woven tapestry of America’s heritage.

Whether you’re interested in history, aviation, photography or travel, or you just enjoy a good adventure from the comfort of your favorite chair, this book will allow you to board their green “canoe in the sky” and join the adventurers on their journey.
