Jefferson River ascending toward divide — Patrick Gass: August 3, 1805
Captain Clark's party continued traveling along a valley, passing several fine springs flowing from the mountains. The group found abundant currants and serviceberries growing throughout the valley and enjoyed eating some of the finest berries the writer had ever tasted. They covered roughly 22 miles before making camp for the evening. The night turned uncomfortably cold.
Capt. Clarke, continued our route along the valley: and passed
several fine springs that issue from the mountains. Currants
and service berries are in abundance along this valley, and we
regaled ourselves with some of the best I had ever seen. We
went about 22 miles and encamped. The night was disagree-
ably cold.
