Show 7337 Chaffin- D 5317 Q What time of year did you do that rafting? A That was about May, spring time, in the spring of the year, high water. Q Now, was there any other rafting you did that you recall during your river experience down there? A No, not that I can recall. Q Was this rafting done during the high stage of water because of the stage of the water or because you happened to need the timber at that time? A Because we needed the timber at that time. Q From your knowledge of the river, would it have been any more difficult to raft this timber down at the lowest stage you ever saw the river than it was then?

Q Did you do any work on the Olympia bar after this |
