Clark: September 6, 1804
A brief northwest storm at daybreak delayed the expedition's start, but the party pushed off afterward against a hard headwind on a very cold day. They passed an island separated from the left bank by a narrow channel and made camp early on the south side at the upper edge of some timber, since no further timber lay within reach ahead. Reuben Fields killed two deer, and Clark spotted numerous buffalo and several goats on the south-side hills. The river was rising slightly.
