Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 25, 1806
Rain showers fell during the day at the expedition's camp. Five additional hunters set out in the morning. The previous evening, two Native men had brought a paralyzed Indian to camp seeking a cure from the officers, and on this day the captains administered a sweat treatment to him. The interpreter's child, who had been very ill, was recovering. Two hunters returned in the afternoon empty-handed. The weather cleared into a fine evening, and three more hunters departed in search of game.
