Missouri River near Jefferson City area — Patrick Gass: June 10, 1804
The expedition passed Deer-lick creek on the north side of the river, then three miles further reached the Two Charlottes, also on the north side. The mouths of these two rivers lie close together, the first measuring 70 yards wide and the other 100 yards wide. The party made camp on the south side of the river at a prairie. They remained at this campsite throughout the following day because the wind was blowing too violently to allow them to continue traveling.
