  July 15th, Sunday a heavy Fog this morning prevented our Setting out 
  before 7 oClock, at nine I took two men and walked on the L# S# I crossed 
  three butifull Streems of runnig water heading in the Praries on those 
  Streem the lands verry fine covered with pea Vine & rich weed the high 
  Praries are also good land Covered with Grass entirely void of timber 
  except what grows on the water, I proceeded on thro those praries Several 
  miles to the mouth of a large Creek on the L# S# called (2) Ne ma har this 
  is a Small river, about 100 yds# above the mouth it is 40 yards wide, at 
  the mouth (as all other Creeks & rivers falling into the Missourie 
  are) much narrower than a little distance up. after continueing at the 
  mouth of this Creek about an hour, I Swam across and proceeded on about 3 
  miles and halted to wate for the boat, which was Some distance below ¬ In 
  all this days march thro woods & Praries, I only Saw three Deer & 
  3 fawns ¬ I had at one part of the Prarie a verry extensive view of 
  all the Countrey around up and down the river a Considerable distance, on 
  the Larbd. Sd# one Continul Plain, on the S# S# Some timber on the bank of 
  the river, for a Short distance back of this timber is a bottom Plain of 
  four or five miles back to the hills and under the hills between them 
  & the river this plain appeared to extend 20 or 30 miles, those Hills 
  have but little timber, and the Plain appears to Continu back of them ¬ I 
  Saw Great quantities of Grapes, Plums, or 2 Kinds wild Cherries of 2 
  Kinds, Hazelnuts, and Goosberries.
