Heavy rain fell through much of the previous night and continued as a cloudy, wet morning set in. Some of the men set out hunting and managed to bring back two deer. Light rain persisted throughout the day. Captain Lewis and his party had still not returned to camp, and the men attributed the delay to the poor weather conditions. Nothing else of note happened during the day.
