"Ocian in View!"
On November 7, 1805, the Expedition reached Pillar Rock and formed a camp. Here, members of the party were elated at the broad expanse of water before them. Although there is some debate as to whether the party could actually see to the ocean from this location, in their hearts they knew that they were not far from reaching their long sought-after goal.
