Show The ( same saine ) two rowboats 1017 that they had on ( the tile ) upper , river were used . They did not use boats between Castle Creek and Moab , because the boats had been taken down to Moab , where they had been stored for the winter . ( R . 4016-4017 . ) The boats were hauled down to Moab on a wagon . They did not use the boats because it would have taken more time to take the boats the short distance up stream [ from Moab to Castle Creek ( ] ) ) than it would to go along the road [ from Castle Creek down to Moab ] . He does not remember whether they rode horseback or went by wagon . The survey from Moab to the junction commenced in October , 1912 , and finished in December , 1912 . ( R . 4018 . ) Reading from the original maps of his survey , which he made in the field at that time , he states that there is a decided drop in the river at mile 76.4 and another at mile 74.4 . The mileage on the map reads from the junction up the river . ( R . 4019 . ) The distance from the mouth of the Green River to Castle Creek is slightly over 79 miles . ( R . 4020 . ) The 10 by 30 ( flat-bottom flatbottom ) boat of which he spoke drew 8 to 10 inches of water , loaded . He found it beachednear the bridge at Moab , and put a ( frame- frame ) work of boards on it . It was equipped with no power , but was operated with sweeps . ( R . 4021 . ) His intention was to use this boat as a ( house-boat houseboat ) , moving it daily , but on the second night of the second move it sprung a leak and sank . The boat was never named . |
