Travelers’ Rest near present-day Lolo, MT — Patrick Gass: September 9, 1805
Around noon a light rain fell as the party prepared to break camp, having left their fatigued horses with the natives. They set out at 1 o'clock, accompanied by the Indians, traveling northwest over a mountain and down a creek through rugged, barren country where game was scarce. After about seven miles they made camp. Four hunters who went out during the day returned empty-handed, so the men had to make supper from the small remaining supply of corn.
our horses, that were fatigued, with the natives; about 12
o’clock some rain fell; and we prepared to move on. At 1 we
started, when the Indians also set out. We proceeded over
a mountain to a creek, and went down the creek, our course
being northwest; found the country mountainous and poor;
and the game scarce. Having travelled about 7 miles we
encamped. Four hunters had been out to-day, but killed
nothing ; we therefore supped upon a small quantity of corn
we had yet left.
