Show 298 He has never seen any other boats than his own in , operation on the section of Green River north of the town of Greenriver , Utah . . He has made four or five trips down the Green River to its junction with the Colorado from ( Green- Green ) river Utah . In that section of the river he always found the location of the sand bars to be the same but had a good deal of trouble with them . . This trouble occurs nearly all the way along that stretch of the river . There were some stretches of the river where he ( didn't didnt ) have quite as much trouble , , but others were bad enough to pay for it . ( R . 1123-1126 . ) He has been through Cataract Canyon twice . One of the trips especially remembered by him was with the Eddy party in 1927 , when he acted as guide for the party and operated the boats as head ( boat- boat ) man . Considerable trouble was ( had bad ) on the first part of the trip because none of the ( party -party party ) except himself ( had bad ) had any experience in navigation . The . first rapids they came to were run . ( R . 1126-1128 . ) Ran them with all their loads in the boats . These boats were well decked boats that Mr . Eddy had , so they could run in waves ( where wbere ) they were pretty big . They were there in high water , so ( didn't didnt ) have so many rocks to contend ( with -NNith NNith ) as ( he be ) would in lower water . At about the fifth rapid in the cataracts is where had their ( most most- most ) : trouble . Had to unload everything and line boats around the fifth rapid . . From there on ran the rapids until got to the last rapid in the cataracts ; that is Dark Canyon rapids |
