Building and occupying Fort Clatsop — John Ordway: December 23, 1805

The journal entry for this day is extremely brief, consisting only of a fragment noting that something was 'than common this day,' suggesting a comparison to typical conditions but lacking context. No specific events, locations, people, weather details, or decisions are recorded in the surviving text. The entry appears incomplete or truncated, offering no substantive information about the expedition's activities on this date during their winter encampment near the Pacific coast.
