Missouri River near Gasconade River — John Ordway: May 29, 1804
After hunting in the morning, the expedition departed from the Gasconade River at 5:00 P.M. They traveled three miles, passing Deer Creek on the south side, and made camp for the night just above the creek on the same side. One man, Whitehouse, became lost while hunting, so the Frenchmen's pirogue stayed behind to wait for him.
