Successful Bitterroot crossing with Nez Perce guides — John Ordway: June 25, 1806
The party rose early, ate breakfast, and set out on the trail. Around noon they reached a small prairie where they rejoined the two Fields brothers, noting that the snow had melted considerably since their previous passage. After dining, they continued on to Hungry Creek, where they recovered two horses lost a few days earlier. The afternoon turned showery and wet, so they made camp early because no grass for the horses could be found further ahead.

We had an early breakfast and set out. Around noon we came to an open place or small prairie and joined the two Fields. We find the snow has melted considerably since we passed. We dined and proceeded on to Hungry Creek, and found the two horses we lost here a few days past. The latter part of the day was showery and wet. We camped early, as there is no grass near ahead.
