April 19, 1805 (Remained camped in Williams County, North Dakota)

 " the wind blew so hard from the NW that we were fearfull of ventering our canoes in the river ... lay by all day in a good harber. observed considerable quantiies of dwarf Juniper on the hill sides.  the party killed one Elk and a beaver today.  THe breaver of this part of the Missouri are larger, fatter, more abundant and better clad with fur than those of any other part of the country that I have seen."
