"Sunday-- We started early--the road fine but stony & the defile long. I expected this ridge of the mountains divide the Missouri & Columbia waters but I am mistaken as the waters here again discharge in the Missouri. It may appear strange but the colour of the Missouri waters are white & muddy & those of the Columbia perfectly clear. It was past mid day when we crossed over when we encamped in a fine plane covered with buffalo and all hands in pursuit...cours south. dis.12 miles."
