Show Galloway- D 1059 channel of the river, instead of being deep where I thought it was, the deep part of the river was on the other side. Did that occur frequently in that stretch of country? Well, no, I wouldn't hardly say that; I know that there was several changes of the river. I don't know whether it was because the first trip I went down the water was higher and in the fall of the year as everybody knows, the river is at its lowest point, but it seemed to me as though the channel of the river had just simply moved. The current wasn't where -- in places -- where it was when I was there before. I noticed it in beaver dams in the fall of the year. In what? Beaver dams, where they had lived, put in their cache for winter of willows, brush, and they will start in September, maybe the latter part of August, to doing their fall work, getting their winter's food in, and when the water went down to its lowest stage they were plumb up on dry land with the cache, and had to move away and go on the other side somewhere, or below or above, and start over again. I have noticed that along there in several different places in the fall of the year. That is between Greenriver, Utah, and the junction of the Colorado? 3031 |
