Show Record help. From Camp Lockhart we walked across on the trail to Camp No. 1 and took the Moab boat from there to Moab. The Moab boat went up that morning. I do not recollect that it had any trouble. The ice did not bother it. I found the channel in the Colorado River between Moab and the mouth of the Green to be practically the same on both my trips. I would say that the sand bars are not in the same place 1056 on that river evey day. I do not mean by that that there are not sand bars that are permanent river beds. I mean the rising and lowering of water will change the current on most any sandy forma-tion of the river. After I got through trapping for the State of Utah in February, 1928, I left my boat at Camp Lockhart and took the Moab 1057 boat to Moab. I do not recall any bad difficulties in going up on that trip. mouth of the Green River. The first one was in 1911, the next in 1926 and the third in the fall of 1927. On those trips I did not find the channel of the river exacting the same in all places. I 1059 noted that at places where I had camped.

As an ordinary thing the river does not freeze over in winter. I do not believe the Colorado River freezes over at its junction with the Green River. 1062 I have done prospecting in Glen Canyon. I was down in there in 1911 and have been there twice since. On one trip I hauled my supplies from Greenriver on boats to North wash, about 4 miles below the mouth of the Dirty Devil. On the other occasions we hauled our supplies overland from Greenriver City south and west - 144- 1260 |
