We the BuckHunters decided that we would take the North portage over the South portage. Even though, we knew that the South could be shorter, the South could be more dangerous.
     For me the decision was a little tougher. I had to think a little. Winter was coming after all. Wouldn't it be faster if we took the south? Captain Mackenzie ruled me out though, saying we would take the North portage. I kept quiet, knowing that we could not argue with the captain.
     Lewis and Clark decided to take the South portage, it was shorter but they stated that it was more dangerous than the North. 25 miles in total were traveled.
     The difference between our decisions was that Lewis and Clark chose the South portage but the BuckHunters' decided to take the North portage by Captain Mackenzie's orders.
