Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 19, 1806
An Indian man and his wife who had stayed overnight received more medicine before leaving. A group of men traveled about four miles up the river to Indian lodges to trade for roots, returning in the afternoon with a substantial supply, accompanied by several natives who departed by evening. The party recovered another of their old horses, leaving only three still missing, two of which the old Snake guide had taken. Two hunters returned at dark empty-handed. The afternoon weather was fair throughout.
Indian and his wife staid all night and got more medicine. A
party of the men went to some Indian lodges about 4 miles
up the river to buy roots; and in the afternoon returned with
a good many of them. Several of the natives came to our
camp with the men and in the evening all went away. We
got another of our old stock of horses; and have now all we
left except. three; two of which the old Snake guide took
with him. At dark two of our hunters came in but had not
killed any thing. The day was fair during the whole of the
afternoon.
