Missouri River near Gasconade River — John Ordway: June 1, 1804
On a fair day, the expedition set out from Stone Creek at 5 a.m. They traveled about a mile, passing Big Muddy Creek on the north side, with high banks on the south. After another two miles they passed Bear Creek and reached the Osage River at 4 p.m. The party made camp at the point where the rivers met and felled a number of trees so the captains could take astronomical observations.
