Lewis/Clark descending Missouri/Yellowstone to reunion — John Ordway: August 9, 1806
The party spent the day at camp dressing deer skins they had previously obtained. The two Field brothers crossed the river to hunt and returned in the evening, having killed one elk and one deer. The remaining members occupied themselves with tasks aimed at making their camp more comfortable. No significant weather, travel, or decisions were noted for the day, which appears to have been a routine stop focused on hunting and personal upkeep.
