Missouri River near Arrow Rock — John Ordway: June 24, 1804
The expedition traveled along the river, passing Hay Cabin Creek on the south side, marked by high hills, and Sharriton Cartie Creek on the north side just above some rocks, with a prairie on the south. Captain Clark returned to the boat in the morning with a fat bear, prompting a brief midday stop to jerk the meat. The land on both sides was rich and well timbered. Hunters had a productive day: Drouillard killed two deer, Reuben Fields one, Captain Lewis a deer and a turkey, and Collins three deer. They camped on the south side.
