Waiting for Nez Perce guides at Weippe Prairie — John Ordway: June 22, 1806
The party rose early to hunt around the camas flat where they were waiting for snow to clear from the mountains. One man set out for the Kooskooskee River to fish for salmon, following advice from two Native guides who said salmon were plentiful at this time of year. By midday, the hunters returned having killed eight deer and two brown bears. They went out again in the evening, and Collins added a black bear to the day's take.
