The Corps of Discovery found the perfect spot to make salt 15 miles southwest of Fort Clatsop in what is now modern day Seaside. Believe it or not, finding good salt was not only a culinary morale booster, but could even be a matter of life or death for the Corps. Come with us as local historian, Gloria Linkey, provides an up close and personal view of the importance of the salt making process from Lewis & Clark’s point of view.
