Clark: September 9, 1805
On a fair morning with a northwest wind, the party set out early and continued down the valley across an open plain. They crossed a large scattering creek lined with cottonwoods at 1.5 miles, a smaller creek at 10 miles, both entering from the right, and reached the main river at 15 miles. They camped on a large creek flowing in from the left, which they named Travelers Rest Creek. Hunters killed four deer, four ducks, and three prairie fowl during the day.
