Building and occupying Fort Clatsop — Patrick Gass: December 2, 1805
Hunters set out in the morning, and one returned in the afternoon reporting he had killed a fine elk. A party of men was sent to bring in the meat, a welcome supply since several members of the group had been suffering from the ill effects of their fish-based diet. Neither the hunters nor the men dispatched to retrieve the meat made it back to camp by nightfall. The weather cleared in the evening, making for a fine night.
