Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: June 5, 1806
The day began with heavy dew. In the afternoon, four hunters returned to camp with the meat of five deer and a bear. An Indian accompanied them, having attempted to travel partway over the mountains, but he found the trail too rough and the snow too deep to make the crossing. As a result, the expedition was forced to delay its journey and remain in its current location for some additional time before attempting the mountain passage.
