Beginning in 1804, they traveled 8,000 grueling miles together—up the Missouri River, across the Rocky Mountains, down to the Pacific Ocean, and then back again.And yet it was never quite clear if Clark was Lewis’s favorite member of the expedition.

While Lewis was out East, getting organized and gathering supplies, he bought the dog for…

It marks the first time that the FDA’s list of approved filters has been updated in more than 25 years, since 1999.

Your feet, to lift from the old song, are made for more than walking. So let’s stop counting steps and start counting experiences to savor. Experiences that reconnect you with your feral soul.
