Missouri River Breaks area — Patrick Gass: May 16, 1805
After spending the morning drying out gear that had gotten wet, the party finished reloading their goods onto the boats by afternoon and resumed their journey upriver. They traveled past high, barren hills lining both banks, sparsely dotted with pine trees. After covering seven miles, the group made camp in a pleasant bottom on the south side of the river, where they found a number of abandoned Indian huts.
the afternoon we had all our articles dry and on board again.
At that time we proceeded on our voyage; passed high bar-
ren hills on both sides of the river, with only a few pine trees
on them. We advanced seven miles and encamped in a hand-
some bottom on the South side where there are a number of
old Indian huts.

We advanced seven miles and camped in a handsome bottom on the south side, where there are a number of old Indian huts.
