  11th of April Thursday 1805 Set out verry early I walked on Shore, Saw 
  fresh bear tracks, one deer & 2 beaver killed this morning in the 
  after part of the day killed two gees; Saw great numbers of Gees Brant 
  & Mallard Some White Cranes Swan & guls, the plains begin to have 
  a green appearance, the hills on either side are from 5 to 7 miles asunder 
  and in maney places have been burnt, appearing at a distance of a redish 
  brown choler, containing Pumic Stone & lava, Some of which rolin down 
  to the base of those hills ¬ In maney of those hills forming bluffs to 
  the river we procieve Several Stratums of bituminious Substance which 
  resembles Coal; thong Some of the pieces appear to be excellent Coal it 
  resists the fire for Some time, and consumes without emiting much flaim.

  The plains are high and rich Some of them are Sandy Containing Small 
  pebble, and on Some of the hill Sides large Stones are to be Seen ¬ In 
  the evening late we observed a party of Me ne tar ras on the L# S# with 
  horses and dogs loaded going down, those are a part of the Menetarras who 
  camped a little above this with the Ossinniboins at the mouth of the 
  little Missouri all the latter part of the winter we Camped on the S# S# 
  below a falling in bank. the river raise a little.
