Wednesday October 31st. 1804.

The river being very low and the season so far advanced that it
frequently shuts up with ice in this climate we determined to spend the
Winter in this neighbourhood, accordingly Capt. Clark with a party of
men reconnoitred the country for some miles above our encampment;
he returned in the evening without having succeed[ed] in finding an
eligible situation for our purpose.
