Clark: October 1, 1805
On a cool Tuesday morning with an easterly wind, the party spent the day drying out their clothes and gear and sorting through trade goods—especially beads, which the local Indians prized—hoping to barter for food. Provisions were scarce, with only poor dried fish to eat, which reportedly upset the men's stomachs like a dose of salts. Hunters returned empty-handed. Captain Lewis continued to recover from his recent illness. Visitors arrived from several nearby villages, including some from the main south fork. The evening turned warm.
