Show Record time, during the time we had been down the river, a flood had come down Courthouse Wash, and it had carried a great mass of rock and mud and cottonwood logs into the river. We went down on the right side of the river just outside of the curve there. When we came back we followed that, but found we could not go ahead because of this mass of debris that had come in from Courthouse Wash during our absence. We finally decided to go back and try to come up along the left bank, which we did, and found enough water there to fi-nally get up. It took us half an hour to get past the obstructions. When we got to Moab we tied the boat to the dock and left it in charge of a man who lived near the dock, who had a house in which it could be locked up. 3935 Attention is called to complainant's 89 and Exhibit 94, showing stream flow record at Cisco and Greenriver for year ending September 30, 1926. 3937 I have been on the Green River. I was with the A. W. Trimble party in 1922, traveling by boat from Greenriver, Wyoming, 3939 to Greenriver, Utah. I left Green River, Wyoming, July 13, 1922. Elwyn Blake had charge of one boat. Bert Loper had charge of one boat. Lee Lent had charge of the third boat. It was stipulated between counsel that Mr. Reeside's testimony as to the progress of that trip down the Green River from Green River, Wyoming, to Greenriver, Utah, would be substantially the same as the testimony of Mr. Loper, Mr. Lent and Mr. Blake, and received subject to the same objections under which the testimony of Messrs. Loper, Lent and Blake was admitted. 3940 From July 9, to 12, 1925, I made a trip from Greenriver, Utah, north by pack train, for the purpose of determining the rock 3941 formations in detail between Greenriver and the McPherson ranch, a distance of 45 miles. 3943 Below Greenriver, Utah, I have not been on the river itself. I have been along parts of the banks as far the mouth of the San Rafael. From Greenriver, Utah, down to the mouth of the San Rafael there is a road. It is just a trail, just a wagon track. |
