North Fork, June 2, 1805 Clark's Diary

We have encountered yet another decision to be made. There is a fork in the Missouri River, do we go north or south? The north looks like what we have been traveling this entire journey, whereas the south was much clearer. We are going to scout the north, let's see what the future holds.

We are back from our scout and we encountered some Indians. We allowed them to run when they did.  When we returned the Indians surrounded us during the night, but they ended up being friendly. We were informed that the south fork was the one we had to take. The expedition will continue in the morning.
