He also frequently towed rowboats loaded with supplies for other persons . ( R . 5351 . ) The Navajo was kept in operation for profit in navigating the river or for commercial purposes . He lived all the year around at his ranch and supplies came down from Greenriver mostly by boats . ( R . 5352 . ) At times supplies were brought in on the west side down to the mouth of the San Rafael and we brought the boat up to the mouth of the San Rafael and got the supplies . There is a sort of road on the east side , used to come around that way by the Wimmerranch , but a very poor road . ( R . 5352- 5353 . ) He made many trips a year to Greenriver and back with his boats . After disposing of his ( four-horse fourhorse four-horse- fourhorse ) power engine he never had any trouble negotiating swift water , riffles , or rapids with the Wilmont . In operating the boats on the rivers he had no serious difficulty at any time . During the first few years they touched sand bars but were off and on again . The longest he was ever on a sand bar with the Wilmont was three minutes . They had no difficulty with the Navajo excepting at times in running through what rivermen call sand rolls ; where the waves jump , they are always carrying a lot of sand ; the engine would pick that up and leave a certain amount in the water jacket ; frequently they had to clean that out ; that is all .
