		Floyd was, of course, the callous mastermind responsible for flooding (temporarily) one of the world's most beautiful places - Glen Canyon on the Colorado River and San Juan River.

		While the catch in the rivers and estuaries was virtually nil, they caught white shrimp in droves just behind the boundary line where the runoff waters ended and the saltwater began.

		On November 28, Lewis left Clark in charge of the boat and the men at the mouth of the Kaskaskia River and proceeded by land to St. Louis to confer with the Spanish authorities.
		During the wait they were also able to gather much knowledge about the Missouri River and its native peoples from the fur traders and river men of the region, in particular James Mackay, and to acquire copies of John Thomas Evans's maps of the river.
		On July 30 they reached a high bluff near the river in modern Nebraska, which they would call Council Bluff, for there they had their first council with the chiefs of the Otos and Missouris, informing them of the change in sovereignty in Louisiana; they remained at the bluffs until August 2.
