where did lewis and clark reach the pacific
Lewis and Clark Expedition The expedition sighted the Pacific Ocean for the first time on November 7, 1805, arriving two weeks later.[53][54] The expedition faced its second bitter winter camped on the north side of the Columbia River, in a storm-wracked area.[53] Lack of food was a major factor. The elk, the party's main source of food, had retreated from their usual haunts into the mountains, and the party was now too poor to purchase enough food from neighboring tribes.[55] On November 24, 1805, the party voted to move their camp to the south side of the Columbia River near modern Astoria, Oregon. Sacagawea, and Clark's slave York, were both allowed to participate in the vote, so this may have been the first time in American history where a woman and a slave were allowed to vote.[56]
