Charles Floyd: July 21, 1804
The expedition departed very early in the morning, hoping to locate woodland near the mouth of a river they had passed earlier. Initially unable to find any timber, they continued roughly ten miles upstream before finally spotting wooded areas on both banks of the river. The party made camp for the night on the north side. The brief entry reflects a routine day of travel focused primarily on covering distance and securing a suitable wooded campsite.
