Show From some place above 302 what ( lie he ) believes to ( bo be ) oil well No . 2 , they took the Moab Garage boat into Moab . The Moab Garage boat hit sand bars in a place or two but was always able to back up again and ( then theil ) go ahead , making the trip without losing a great deal of time . ( Pie He ) made another trip on that section of the river with his father a good many years ago but does not remember the date . He ( has bas ) also made two or three other trips , one being made in 1927 with a ( 3roung young ) fellow by the name of Zerber . This last trip was from the mouth of the Green River to Moab . The boat was not taken all the way to Moab but only as far as well No . 2 , where it was loaded on the big boat and taken on up . The same difficulties were encountered on this trip as were encountered on the other trip . After ( reach reach- reach ) ing Moab the boats were taken to Greenriver , Utah , by truck . ( R . 1135-1137 . ) ( Didn't Didnt ) go on down the Colorado River and then up the Green to Greenriver , because of the hard labor of getting up there is something fierce ; ( wouldn't wouldnt ) want to undertake it with a pair of oars . ( R . 1138 . ) He can not tell how long it would take to make the trip from Moab to Greenriver City by boat but in his best judgment it would take about a ( month's months ) time . By truck it takes not over eight ( hours' hours ) time . He has never been over that section of the ( couii- couii coun- coun ) ti y by boat between Moab and Greenriver . He has been from Greenriver to Moab , of course , by boat . |
