Patrick Gass: January 6, 1806
After roughly two months of near-constant rain with only four clear days, the weather finally broke, allowing the party to leave the lodges where they had been staying. They traveled past the mouth of a sizable river and continued about two miles along the shore until they reached the salt-making camp, where members of that detachment were at work. Two of the salt makers had already departed for the fort on January 4th. The man who had accompanied Gass joined two others to go hunting.
