Show Galloway- D 1056 think you have it -- with a sand bar condition you may think you have that channel; you will go on up a little, and find maybe you have got to go back down around and hunt a point that comes around like that and breaks straight off; maybe you will have to come down one hundred feet; along the edge of that it will only be naturally deep; if you should step off you would go in over your head, maybe; above that, where the water comes on to it, it is shallow, maybe for a hundred feet back; you will keep coming on down until you find a point of it like that, go around the point of it and there is the channel of the river on that side. Q Then, as I understand you, the sandbars are not the same place every day on these rivers? A Oh, no, they are not. I don't mean by that there is not sandbars that are pretty near permanent river bed; I don't mean that; but I do mean, in conditions of raising and lowering of water, it will change the current on most any sandy formation of the river. Q After you got through trapping that winter for the state of Utah, then what did you do with your boats? A I left the boat I had at Camp Lockhart;-- I think it is still there -- and went up and took the boat, the Moab boat, and went out to home. Q What month did you go out? In, I guess, the latter part of March. 3028 |
