Clark: March 29, 1805
On Saturday, March 29, 1805, the ice on the river stopped running, apparently blocked by an obstacle upstream. The crew spent the day repairing the boat and pirogues and continuing preparations to set out. Few Indians came to visit the camp, as most were gathered along the riverbank trying to catch buffalo carcasses floating downstream with the breaking ice.
