Bitterroot crossing attempt, turned back by snow — John Ordway: June 12, 1806
Hunters set out early in the morning to find game. Around 10 a.m., some returned, including Shields, who brought in two fine bucks. The other hunters who came back had killed nothing. The party began fleshing the meat they had so it could be dried and packed for the upcoming crossing of the mountains. Toward evening, several hunters left camp again, planning to stay out overnight so they could begin hunting early the next morning.
