Patrick Gass: June 13, 1805
The party traveled 14 miles up the river under conditions that included dew the previous night. They passed Snow Creek, a large tributary entering from the south, and noted that the river's water was very clear with a strong, rapid current. Several timbered islands were observed along the way, though the surrounding hills on both banks were bare of trees. The group made camp for the night on the south side of the river.
dew fell last night. We passed a large creek on the south
side, called Snow creek. The water of the river is very clear
and the current very rapid. We passed a number of islands
covered with timber; but there is none to be seen on the hills
on either side. We went 14 miles and encamped on the south
side.
