Clark: July 13, 1805
On a calm, cool morning that turned windy from the southeast, the camp was approached by a curious buffalo bull that wandered within a few steps of one of the canoes while the men worked. Captain Lewis arrived overland with another man around 9 a.m. The crew spent most of the day finishing both canoes, except for caulking and fitting oars. Hunters killed three buffalo, providing much of the meat Clark dried for pemmican. Mosquitoes and gnats pestered the party throughout the day and night.
