Show ( 3b Im ) this stretch of the Green 512 River , the last ( twenty- twenty ) five miles north of Greenriver , Utah , the water was fairly quiescent . There was some swift water in it , especially around a dam site , where a dam was being constructed above Greenriver , Utah , but nothing noticeably difficult , with the exception of an occasional sand bar . There was one place , he recalls , where a river was cutting into a wooded bank , cutting it away ( on oil ) the eastern side . ( R . 1780-81 . ) He supposes could have taken this same boat ( up- up ) stream from Greenriver , Utah , to Green River , Wyoming , but he ( wouldn't wouldnt ) want the job . It ( cer- cer ) tainly could not be done by ofie man . It could not be done with oars . ( R . 1781 . ) They stayed at Greenriver , Utah , about two days , and left Greenriver October 11 , 1909 . ( R . 1781 . ) It is very difficult to say just ( now -now now ) the amount of supplies carried at that time ; they lived rather simply ; our supplies consisted of flour , some ( pota- pota ) toes , bacon , baking powder , salt and pepper ; also had ham and some honey . The boats were intended to be decked over , waterproof and ( air-tight airtight ) fore and aft of the one cockpit where the oarsman sat ; but unfortunately they were not constructed that way , and had ( noth- noth ) ing but a canvas flap over the bow ; a very ( flimsy fliailsy ) affair over the stern . They were practically open boats . ( R . 1781-1782 . ) He recalls that the boats grounded a number of times on sand or mud bars between ( Oreenriver CArceuriver ) , , |
