Clark: August 25, 1805
The party set out very early and stopped briefly at an Indian camp, where the hospitable but impoverished inhabitants shared boiled salmon and dried berries. They continued back over previously crossed mountains to the bluff where they had camped on the 21st, arriving late and turning out to hunt and fish with little success, catching only a few small fish. The guide obtained two salmon from a passing berry-gathering party, and after dark Shannon arrived with a beaver that fed the group. One sick man significantly delayed travel.

August 25th, Sunday, 1805. Set out very early and halted one hour at the Indian camp. They were kind and gave us all a little boiled salmon and dried berries to eat, about half as much as I could eat. These people are kind with what they have, but excessively poor and dirty.
We proceeded on over the mountains we had before passed to the bluff we camped at on the 21st instant, where we arrived late and turned out to hunt and fish. Caught several small fish. A party of squaws and one man, with several boys, were going down to gather berries below. My guide got two salmon from this party (which made about half a supper for the party). After dark Shannon came in with a beaver, which the party supped on sumptuously.
One man very sick today, which detained us very much. I had three hunters out all day; they saw one deer, killed nothing. One of the party saw 9 elk on a mountain to our right, ascending, amongst the pine timber, which is thick on that side.
