Show ( Ha Ea ) and Loper left the mouth 966 of Piute ( Greek Creek ) when they went up to get the supplies cached . After obtaining the supplies they rode about ( half lialf ) the way back . They were out of the boat at least ( half balf ) of the time trying to locate deep water and pulling the boat across through the shallow water . ( R . 3781- 3783 . ) They had difficulty in finding deep water and they both got out of the boat to search for it , they always had their ( shoes slioes ) and leggings off so they could jump out immediately when the boat was ( grounded grourided ) . ( R . 3783 . ) On the trip down the river the first supplies brought to the party overland were brought to ( Good Good- Good ) rich . ( R . 3784 . ) The next place they received ( sup- sup ) plies brought in overland was at Honaker Trail ; the next , Slick Horn Gulch ; the next Piute Farms ; then Clay Gulch , Copper Canyon , and Spencers Camp . They obtained some supplies from Indians at Piute Canyon and Loper brought a sack of flour from the mouth of the San Juan up to the ( thirteen-foot thirteenfoot ) rapid . ( R . 3784-3785 . ) He has no recollection of anyone except Loper taking a trip down the river to the cache at the mouth of the San Juan , and coming back up . ( R . 3786 . ) He would judge there were four or five times that it was necessary to stay off the river with the boats because of sand ( waves iraves ) and floods , each ( time tinie ) lasting from a half day to two days . ( R . ( 37S7-37SS 37S737SS 3787-378S 3787378S ) . ) When ( he lie ) mentioned the grounding that he recalled as having occurred two miles below Clay ( Hill Rill ) Gulch , |
