(KLZA)-- Members of the Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition of Saint Charles, Missouri are taking a 121 mile voyage on a full-sized replica of the keelboat used by Lewis and Clark during their exploration of the western U.S. from 1804 - 1806.

The venture started last week near the Lewis and Clark National Trail's Visitor Center at Omaha and will end in Kansas City, Kansas. Along the way stops are being made in Nebraska City, Rulo and Atchison, Kansas.

The schedule calls for the keelboat to sail from Riverview Marina State Recreation Area at Nebraska City on Monday, October 7 arriving in Rulo on Wednesday, October 9 around 5 - 6 p.m.

During the stop at Rulo, which will be an informal camp for the crew, people will be able to view the boat. Tents will be set up in the campground for the crew.

On Thursday the 10th, the crew will depart from Rulo, traveling downstream to Atchison, Kansas where it will be moored at the Veterans Memorial at Riverfront Park through October 13th.
