Missouri River near Gasconade River — Charles Floyd: May 27, 1804
On May 27, 1804, the expedition passed Ash Creek on the south side of the river, noting high cliffs along that bank. They reached the mouth of the Gasconade River at 5 p.m. and made camp on an island opposite the river's mouth, in what Floyd described as a handsome spot with high hills on the left side and good-quality bottomland. The party also conducted an inspection of their arms and ammunition during the stop.
