Two
modern day adventurers fly a kit-built plane that resembles
a green “canoe in the sky” across America to retrace the
epic journey of Lewis and Clark.
Traveling
low and slow, professional photographer and pilot Ron Lowery
and writer and pilot Mary Walker flew above the same great
rivers that Lewis and Clark explored to capture incredible
vistas from the air and celebrate the 200th Anniversary
of the Corps of Discovery’s odyssey across the continent.
The result is a photography and adventure book for pilots,
history buffs and arm-chair travelers, Chasing Lewis
and Clark Across America: A 21st Century Aviation Adventure.
Using
the rivers to guide them, the modern-day adventurers crossed
the magnificent prairies and western mountains of America
along a historic route that is still endlessly fascinating.
The book contains more than 180 dramatic photographs of
landscapes eroded into living sculptures, magnificent
bighorn sheep on steep canyon walls, herds of buffalo
grazing across golden plains, restored forts, and lush green
fields and magnificent rivers along Lewis and Clark’s
cross-country route.
