Show 66 ing bars in ( all till ) probability the channel would be at the same place . That is , the channel may cross the bar at any point , although the bar may always be there . This is true as to the ( crossing crossiug ) bars . The Butterfly Bar violates every law of ordinary bars in a river in that it is the outside of a bend which receives the direct force of the current . A stable bar and a stable channel do not necessarily go together but vary according to the type of bar . ( R . 312-13 . ) It is a very difficult thing to describe . The bed is certainly not permanent by any means ; the banks are not permanent , except where they are against rock walls . ( R . 313 . ) There ( was -was was ) evidence of instability near town of Greenriver ; evidence of an old river bed a quarter of a mile away ; saw where it used to empty into the Green River and where it formerly left the Green River . ( R . 316 . ) Soundings represent the depths obtained as boat travelled downstream . River was muddy at times . After he got below mouth of the ( San Sail ) Rafael he had to handle canoe Mr . Blake the other boat . Mr . , Moyer took soundings . ( R . 318 . ) Rowing from the mouth of San Rafael , he got a good idea of depth of the river when rowing the boat . ( R . . 320 . ) Bars and riffles , the things between the mouth of the San Rafael and Greenriver causes the river , to be less easily navigated than the balance to the junction and up the Colorado to Moab . ( R . 321 . . ) |
