Lewis/Clark descending Missouri/Yellowstone to reunion — Patrick Gass: August 2, 1806
The expedition remained in camp for the day so Captain Lewis could have all the baggage, which had become damp, thoroughly dried out. Two hunters were sent ahead in a canoe to find game while the rest of the party tended to the gear. By the end of the day everything had been dried and repacked, leaving the group prepared to resume travel the following morning.
Lewis thought it best to stay here to-day also and dry all our
baggage, as it was become damp and wet. Two hunters were
sent on in a canoe to hunt; and in the course of the day we
got every thing dry and ready to set out the next morning.
