Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — John Ordway: May 18, 1806
On May 18, 1806, members of the expedition set out on horseback into the high country some distance back from camp to establish a hunting camp. Two men were dispatched to retrieve the meat from a bear killed two days earlier on May 16th. By evening, four of the hunters returned with very little to show for their efforts, having killed only a single hawk and a pheasant.
