Missouri River near St. Joseph area — Patrick Gass: July 8, 1804
On July 8, 1804, the expedition traveled along a crooked, narrow stretch of river. Around one o'clock they reached a large island and chose to pass it on the north side, where only a small channel of water ran. Along this northern route they encountered a sizable tributary known as the Nadowa Creek flowing in from the north. The party made camp on the same northern side of the river near this creek for the night.
