Fort Clatsop, winter quarters — Patrick Gass: March 11, 1806
On this day at the expedition's coastal camp, three men paddled a canoe across the bay to hunt, while two other hunters returned empty-handed. Around midday, the fishing party came back with a catch of eulachon (ulken) and sturgeon to help feed the group. The following morning, March 12th, began pleasantly but turned cloudy by evening, and another hunter set out in search of game. No major decisions or notable encounters were recorded during this stretch.
