Waiting for Nez Perce guides at Weippe Prairie — John Ordway: June 20, 1806
The party had an active day of hunting and fishing while camped in the area. Hunters set out early in the morning, and around 11 a.m. Reuben Fields returned having shot a brown bear about a mile down the glade. Several men rigged fishing gear, fashioning gigs from bayonets and Indian gigs and setting up a dip net, and they caught seven salmon trout. Toward evening, Labiche and Cruzatte returned with one deer and one additional salmon trout.
