Patrick Gass: November 24, 1806
Feeling unwell, the author remained at camp while the party went back for more canoes. Around 3 o'clock, one wagon arrived with a canoe; after letting the horses feed and eating dinner, that group set out for the Portage River. About an hour later, a heavy thunderstorm with rain, thunder, and lightning struck, lasting roughly an hour and a half. The evening cleared, and just before sunset the second wagon arrived with another canoe, and they made camp. The man with the cut leg remained lame at the camp.

I was very much unwell last night and still am today, so I stayed at this camp, and the party went back for more canoes. About 3 o'clock one of the wagons with a canoe arrived; and the party with it, having let the horses feed a while and taken dinner, they proceeded on to Portage River.
About an hour after they started, a very heavy shower of rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning, came on, and lasted about an hour and a half. After this we had a fine evening, and a little before sunset the other wagon with a canoe arrived, when we camped for the night. The man who cut his leg is still very lame and continues at this camp.
