Missouri River near Gasconade River — Charles Floyd: May 31, 1804
The expedition stayed in camp for the entire day due to high winds, unable to make progress upriver. A pirogue passed by loaded with bear, beaver, and deer skins from the Osage village, accompanied by an Osage woman. The party's hunters went out and killed one deer. The surrounding land was noted as good but broken terrain. Weather was unsettled, with rain followed by clearing skies. Floyd remarked that nothing else of note occurred during the day.

Our hunters went out and killed one deer. We lay by all this day on account of the wind. The land is good but broken. It rained and cleared up. Nothing worth relating today.
