The place today: Bitterroot crossing attempt, turned back by snow
two went out. The Indian exchanged horses with one of our
men, whose horse had not recovered, and was unable to cross
the mountains; and then went home to the village. At noon
two of our men took their loads and went on ahead about
eight miles to a small prairie to hunt until we should come
up. During the afternoon the men who went out yesterday
to hunt returned with eight deer. In the evening the weather
became cloudy. The musquitoes are very troublesome.
