Mandan villages, Charbonneau family stays — John Ordway: August 20, 1806
The latter part of the day turned pleasant after earlier conditions, and in the evening the party made camp on a sand beach. Mosquitoes were very troublesome at the campsite. The brief entry records routine travel conditions during this stage of the return journey, with no major events, encounters, or decisions noted. Weather improved as the day progressed, but insect pests remained a persistent nuisance for the men once they stopped for the night.
