Clark: July 30, 1805
The expedition departed at 8 a.m. and traveled 13.5 miles up the north fork of the river, navigating very rapid, shallow water with a coarse gravel channel, numerous islands, and braided channels winding through the bottomlands. They passed the spot where Sacagawea, their female interpreter, had been captured years earlier. One man suffered a strained shoulder and two others had tumors. The party camped on the starboard side as the evening turned cool. Captain Lewis, who had been walking on shore, did not rejoin Clark that night.
