We the Buckhunters have made it to the Pacific Ocean! We are going to try to decide where to set up camp on the shore. Everybody is extremely tired. The Indians are very tired too. We decided to set up the fort and call it Fort Clatsop. We named our fort after the Clatsop Indians that helped us make it there. We caught the Indians stealing goods from us.On our way home we needed another canoe.We asked the Indians for a canoe, but they said "NO!" We then asked them why? Their response was " A lot of payment".
  We needed the canoe badly so we thought and thought. We then decided to steal the canoe when the Indians were sleeping.
  I think we should steal it because we might need to trade or keep the items that they want. I know it is wrong to steal but we need the canoe to get home.
  Lewis and Clark stole the canoe. They needed it for the long journey home and for when they were on the water route. They also stole it because they could hold more stuff on the way home. The canoe they stole was able to hold 10,000 pounds.
  We said steal the canoe and that is what Lewis and Clark did. They had most of the same reasons as us. One big reason they stole it was because the Indians stole 6 elk from them.
