Morning at the Smoking Place
a clear pleasant morning.
-John Ordway-
This sacred Nez Perce site is very close to the camp site on the morning of September 18th. The Corps may have passed down the right side of the ridge and did not see it.

Leaving Indian Grave Meadow
Cap Clark set out this morning to go a head with six hunters. there being no game in these mountains we concluded it would be better for one of us to take the hunters and hurry on to the leavel country a head and there hunt and provide some provision while the other remained with and brought on the party

Portable Soup
we dined & suped on a skant proportion of portable soupe, a few canesters of which, a little bears oil and about 20 lbs. of candles form our stock of provision

Hungery Creek
made 32 miles and Encamped on a bold running Creek passing to the left which I call Hungery Creek as at that place we had nothing to eate.
-William Clark-
Clark led a small party ahead to look for game. The Hungery Creek trail is a branch off of the main trail. It has warmer weather and better hunting opportunities. The creek's name retains Clark's inventive spelling.
