Could you imagine what it was like to be an explorer?
[c=800000]What courage it must have taken to accompany Lewis and Clark westward.
Or, Daniel Boone into North Carolina. [/c]

Even more courageous were the early voyagers like the Vikings; or those who first explored the Polar regions and the highest mountains.
Nevertheless, the pioneers like Lewis, Clark and Boone were taking on very serious projects; venturing on foot or horseback into unknown country.
I don't how long it took to cross the continent even after the routes had been established by various explorers; generally uphill for much of the way Westwards. They must have been very unpleasant, mainly dreary but always hazardous journeys though, and I understand there were many graves along those old trade-routes.
