Clark: March 25, 1805
On a cloudy morning with a northeast wind that cleared by afternoon, the Corps continued preparations to depart from Fort Mandan and resume their journey upriver. Several Indians visited the camp during the day, and Clark observed swans and wild geese flying northeast that evening, a sign of the changing season. The Missouri River rose slightly, and the ice began breaking up in several places. By evening, drifting ice nearly carried away the expedition's newly built canoes.
