At the time of trial there were no boats or rafts on this section of the Colorado River , except 1 small row boat Dent , vol . 1 , p . 357 ; Exception 57 ) . ( From Froin ) the above history of boats in Glen Canyon supplemented by pages 177 to 187 of the Appendix to brief , it may be said that neither depth , velocity , rapids , sand ( waves 'waves waves ) , nor sand bars permit the successful operation of boats of any kind ( Exceptions 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ) . The evidence ( shows sho-vvs shovvs ) no susceptibility of navigation ( ( Ex- Ex ) ceptions 66 , 67 ) . Operation of boats under such ( cir- cir ) cumstances cannot be said to be travel in customary modes of trade and travel on water . Overland travel preferred Greenriver , Utah , and Moab were the only towns connected by the rivers . Before the general use of automobile trucks , these towns were four days ( over- over ) land apart . The trip on the river took even longer . ( To-day Today ) the trip is made regularly in about two hours . The difficulties of overland travel in the old days could produce no successful use of the rivers between these two towns , and no merchant ever used the rivers for transportation ( M . R . 56 , Exception 10 ) . . It is certain that in future the automobile trucks will not be displaced by use of the river |
