Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia — John Ordway: November 27, 1805
On a rainy day, Native people from a nearby village came to trade wapato roots with the expedition. The party traveled by water, crossing a bay and rounding a cape, where they noticed a considerable current in the river. After advancing about another mile, the waves grew too high to continue safely, forcing them to stop and take shelter at an old abandoned fishery.
