Patrick Gass: November 7, 1806
The party continued early through a beautiful valley with clover-filled plains. After about five miles they reached the main branch of the river, crossed it, and traveled along its north side, passing several handsome streams. They killed four deer. Crossing the dividing ridge between Missouri and Columbia waters, they followed a branch north along the ridge for eight miles, passing many small streams. They covered roughly thirty miles before encamping. Later travel took them past Torrent Creek, a tributary of the Medicine River, which they followed nine miles. Mosquitoes were very troublesome at camp.

...morning. Continued our journey early along the valley, which is very beautiful with a great deal of clover in its plains. Having gone about five miles, we came to the main branch of the river, which comes in from the south, and which the road crosses. We crossed the river and passed a number of handsome streams which fall into the waters. Killed four deer today.
After traveling further, we came to the dividing ridge between the waters of the Missouri. We passed over the ridge and came to a stream which runs into the Missouri. We followed this stream or branch about a mile, then took a north course along the side of the dividing ridge for eight miles, passing a number of small streams or branches, and at 9 o'clock at night camped after coming thirty miles during the day.
The morning was clear with some white frost. We started early on a course nearly north; saw several deer in the plains, and after going ten miles passed Torrent Creek, a large branch of the Medicine River. Shortly after, we passed another fork of the path or road we travelled. We continued on and came to the river, at which place we crossed, and one of our hunters killed a deer. In the afternoon we proceeded down the Medicine River nine miles; and having come in the course of today twenty-eight miles, encamped for the night and found the mosquitoes very troublesome.
