Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: June 8, 1806
Some men crossed over from the nearby village to the camp, and a hunter came back from the field empty-handed. Several Native people remained around the camp and expressed the view that crossing the mountains would not be possible for some time due to conditions. Despite this opinion, the party decided to relocate a short distance away to an area where game was more plentiful and hunting prospects would be better.
men came over from the village, and a hunter, who had been
out, returned without killing any thing. Several of the natives
still stay about our camp, and are of opinion we cannot cross
the mountains for some time yet. We, however, mean to
remove a short distance to where the hunting is better.
