Missouri River near Porcupine River — Patrick Gass: May 4, 1805
The expedition continued upriver, passing a creek about 40 yards wide on the south side around noon. Captain Gass noted that the river had run straighter for the past two or three days, with larger bottoms and more timber along its banks. The party traveled roughly eighteen miles before making camp on the north side. One of the men fell ill that morning and remained sick throughout the day.
