Show He ( doesn't doesnt ) believe there 139 has been a year since he left Jewett , New Mexico , that he ( hasn't hasnt ) beenin . ( San Sail ) Juan County . He went after stock or ( on oil ) a ( round-up roundup ) and ( he lie ) would occasionally cross the San Juan ( Eiver River ) either on the Navajo reservation , ( 5n in ) Utah Arizona New Mexico both above and below , , , the four corners . ( R . 505-506 . ) He would probably have occasion to go down around the San Juan River in Utah probably once a year . It would be different times of the year , not always in the winter or summer . He would always cross the river unless he was going out on the ( reser reser- reser ) vation after stock . He believes he has been over on the Navajo . Reservation three different times , and each time crossed the river going and coming on horseback and not on the bridge . ( R . 507-508 . ) He has travelled over the old road from ( Oortez Cortez ) to Bluff ( many inally ) times each year before he moved to Mexican Hat . The old road is right along the side of the river from McElmo ( Greek Creek ) to Bluff , a distance of about ( twenty-five twentyfive ) miles . He crossed the river at least once a year on horseback and has been over the road at least twenty times . The road was ( dis- dis ) cernible at all times and he used this road for freighting in and out of Bluff . At places where the road crossed the low lands where the ( water wqter ) would overflow , the tracks might be obliterated . Aside from the three times he went over to the Navajo reservation and the twenty freighting trips |
