Lewis and Clark State Park to Sioux City, IA- Day 8- 44.67 mi.

Our tent has been intiated with wind and rain! After retiring for the evening, high winds in the 30-40 mph range started up followed by thunderstorms the remainder of the night. The tent (and its occupants) held up well, but didn't get a very good night's sleep. We awoke at 8:00 a.m.snug and dry. We were on the road by 9:15. The terrain remains very flat with winds from the east today. Not exactly a tailwind but not a headwind either, thank goodness. We are headed today for one of the last big cities of the trip, Sioux City, IA. We decided at Salix, IA, where we stopped for lunch to get a motel room so we could upload the last 3 days and have a swim in the pool. We also have some minor things we need to take care of at a bicycle shop in Sioux City. I must say that Sioux City is one of the most confusing cities in which to bike. On the outskirts, we called the Best Western where we had a reservation to get directions downtown. It was so complicated, the motel "air traffic controller" as I called her, had to research the best way and call us back. We finally made it and, while doing the laundry, we soaked in the Best Western's fine pool. Ahhhhhhhh!!
Seventh graders, here is your question for the day: On Lewis and Clark's trip to the Pacific, only one man died along the way and that was in the present day Sioux City, IA. What was this man's name and what do historians think he actually died from?

P.S. Spokewrench would write something, but he is too busy watching the NBA finals. Go Pistons!!
