Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: June 7, 1806
Light rain and some snow fell during the day. Gass crossed the river with five members of the party to visit the native village, finding most of the inhabitants away on a hunt. By evening the group returned to camp, leaving two men behind at the village.

the other side of the river; and while we were going some
snow fell. The greater part of the natives were out hunting.
In the evening we all returned to camp, except two, who re-

us, one of whom gave a horse to one of our men, who is very
fond of conversing with them and of learning their language.
