The party traveled twelve miles and reached the Wolf River (Piettet River de Loup), camping on its west side near a mouth roughly twenty yards wide. The hunters had not yet rejoined the group. Setting out again at sunrise on Tuesday the 10th against a strong current under clear skies, they stopped for breakfast on the river's east side, finding abundant wild rice along the bank along with strawberries and roses.
