Dear Journal,
It was so funny! This morning when we all woke up Michael was all happy and we didn't know why, but then we realized we forgot about his birthday! He was quit mad at us for awhile, but he got over it quickly. Happy birthday Michael!
Today at dawn, Ordway led 15 people ahead 1.5 miles to get elk meat that Drouillard and the Rield brothers had killed. We all chowed down on fresh meat before setting off at 9:30 A.M. At the Cathlamet village (present Knappa, OR), they buy wapato roots, and a dog to nourish the ailing Willard and Bratton. Going upstream on the Columbia, we traveled a total of 15 miles! That's a pretty successful day!
Today also seemed like a long day! We were extra nice to Michael cause we felt bad about forgetting his birthday. I hope that he had a great day though! Happy birthday Michael [:
