Saturday 7th. August 1806
Some hard rain this morning after daylight which wet us all.
I formed a Sort of Camped and delayed untill 11 A. M. when
it stoped raining for a short time. I directed everything put
on board and proceeded on down. the rain continued at intervales
all day tho' not hard in the evening saw a Bear on the
bank but could not get a Shoot at it. at 6 P M. I landed on
a Sand bar on the South Side and Campd. Soon after we
landed the wind blew very hard for about 2 hours, when it
lulled a little. the air was exceedingly clear and cold and not
a musquetor to be seen, which is a joyfull circumstance to the
Party.
