Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — John Ordway: May 20, 1806
Cold, wet weather dominated the day, with rain falling for most of it and snow visible on the surrounding hills. Hunters Colter and Shannon returned empty-handed, reporting that they had wounded a white (grizzly) bear but failed to bring it down. Labiche had better luck, coming back with the meat of a large black-tailed deer he had killed. The party noted that deer were scarce in the area and unusually wary, making hunting difficult.
