The place today: Great Falls Portage
in the morning; but a fine forenoon after it. Captain Lewis
and a hunter went down the river about 7 miles, to see a very
large spring which rises out of the bank of the Missouri on
the south side. In the afternoon there was another heavy
shower of rain, and after it a fine evening. Captain Lewis
came to camp, but drenched with rain.
