Missouri River near Boonville area — Charles Floyd: June 17, 1804
Still worn out from the previous day's labor, the party traveled only about a mile before making camp on the north side of the river. They stopped to craft oars for the boat and a tow rope. The hunters came back with a bear and a deer, and also brought in a stray horse that appeared to have been lost for some time. Otherwise, Floyd notes the day passed without anything remarkable happening.

We renewed our journey, much fatigued from yesterday's work. We came one mile and camped for the purpose of making oars for our boat and making a rope for the purpose of towing on the north side of the river. Our hunters returned and killed one bear and one deer, and found a stray horse who had been lost for some time. Nothing remarkable today.
