Clark: October 23, 1804
On a cold, cloudy morning with some snow, the expedition set out early and passed five recently deserted Mandan hunting lodges with fires still burning. The party suspected these were the Indians who had robbed two French trappers a few days earlier. Those two trappers were now traveling with the expedition, hoping the captains could help them recover their stolen property from the Indians. The group camped on the larboard side of the river.
