Expanding America

October 7, 1805

          Making progress across the Rockies today, we discovered many new animals and covered a great distance considering the circumstances of the mountain barriers. Some of the beautiful creatures we discovered were the Blue Catfish, the Oregon Ruffed Grouse, the Stellar's Jay, and the Franklin's Spruce Grouse. The mountainous region we are crossing has really placed a difficult task on us. Game is very scarce in this region, which is causing a bit of a food shortage. Although, these mountains are becoming quite the burden, we should be nearing the end of them as we have just passed the end of the divide.
