__Should you follow the Yellowstone, the shortest route to the Pacific Ocean, (according to the Hidatsa(or continue upstream on the Missouri River?__ I should follow the Yellowstone. I chose this because as it said in the question, it is the shortest route to the Pacific Ocean and President Jefferson had given him the task to find shorter routes to the Pacific. The chance to go to the Yellowstone River would mean that there is a possibility in finding a new shortcut. Although I would like it to take the Missouri River because it is safer and easier, I am here on a mission and was given tasks to complete so I would take the Yellowstone river.
