Missouri River near Boonville area — Joseph Whitehouse: June 17, 1804
The expedition traveled only one mile by oar before making camp at a site that became known as Rope Walk Camp. The party stopped here to produce equipment for the journey, crafting 20 oars and 600 feet of rope during their stay. The brief day's travel reflects a deliberate decision to pause and resupply the boats with essential gear rather than push further upriver.
