September 22, 1805 (Camped at Weippe Prarie)

Clark and  party are reunited: "Set out with the Chief & his son... I found Capt Lewis & party encamped much fatigued & hungrey, much rejoiced to find something to eate of which they appeared to partake plentifull.  I cautioned them of the Consequences of eateing too much."  Clark

" ... the pleasure I now felt in having tryumphed over the rocky Mountains and decending once more to a level and fertile country where there was every rational hope of finding a comfortable subsistence for myself and party can be more readily conceived than expressed, nor was the flattering prospect of the final success of the expedition less pleasing."  Lewis
