Kenneth W. Karsmizki is the Executive Director of the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum in The Dalles, Oregon. He has spent the past seventeen years researching Lewis and Clark campsites. In 1997, he helped locate the Lower Portage Camp near Great Falls, Montana, on the basis of archaeological evidence. He is now working in partnership with NASA Stennis Space Center to use satellite remote sensing to aid in the narrowing of archaeological target areas at Lewis and Clark sites, including Fort Clatsop. This research is yielding a body of evidence that supports a location of the original Fort Clatsop site that is outside the existing Fort Clatsop National Memorial boundaries.
