Charles Floyd: June 26, 1804
The expedition set out early and continued upriver, passing an island on the south side. Behind the island, a large creek known as Blue Water Creek (River Le Bleue) entered the river. The bluffs along the south side, passed the previous evening and that morning, rose unusually high—between 160 and 180 feet. The party made camp at the mouth of the Kansas River, on the point where it joins from the south. The following day, Wednesday June 27, they remained in camp, and the hunters killed five deer.
