Q You would get fooled once in a while as to where the channel was? A Quite often. Q Quite often, you say? A Yes. Q And you spoke of one place where the river was thread-ed, that is to say, it broke out into different streams; that was up by the San Rafael? A Yes. Q You picked the wrong stream to come down? A At that point we had to wade the entire river; we would find one channel deep enough to float the boat; that would end, then we would have to drag it across where it was very shallow and wade some more; right at that place we had to drag the boat most of the time. Q You got down a channel that became shallow, is that correct, then you either had one of two alternatives, either to go back up or drag your boat over a shallow place into deeper water and another channel; isn• ft that true? A Yes, but the channels were not separated; they were sort of interlacing channels, I might say. |
