Show Baldwin- D 1166 BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Road suitable for automobiles? A Yes sir. Q Did you also operate some automobile trucks? Have you operated those yourself? A I have driven a track quite a bit. Q Do you always find the deep water on that stretch of the Colorado between Moab and these oil walls in the came place? A No. THE SPECIAL MASTER: How do you mean, do you always throughout the year, or from one year to another? MR. BLACKMAR: I mean throughout the year. A It changes very often. Q Does it change from day to day? A Well, probably take it three of four days, maybe, to change. The worst time, when we happen to be off the river a short time and come back on to it, we are completely lost, until you get familiar with the river, and then you have, sometimes, to find the proper place to go, and invariably we would take the wrong course. Q Isn't it a fact what every change of that river in the stream flow makes a re- arrangement in the sand? A Yes. Q How, when that re- arrangement comes, are you able to tell where the deep water is by any experience that you have had before? 3138 |
