Arikara villages near present-day Mobridge — John Ordway: October 9, 1804
Cold, windy, and rainy weather kept the planned council with visiting chiefs and other Indians from taking place, though they did come by to see the expedition. The men used the day to raise a flag pole at camp, and some of the party walked over to the nearby village. Aside from these activities, nothing notable occurred during the day.
