Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia — Patrick Gass: November 30, 1805
On a fair, pleasant, and unusually warm day for the season, Patrick Gass went around the cape and shot two or three ducks. These birds were the only fresh provisions the party had obtained since arriving at this camp, where the men had been subsisting almost entirely on pounded salmon. The entry highlights the limited food supply and the welcome mild weather, but records no significant decisions, travel, or interactions with others during the day.
