( ( E R ) . 2850 . ) There was a road over which trucks and ( auto auto- auto ) ¬ mobiles traveled to a little beyond Indian Creek and the camp on Indian Creek may have been a sort of distribution point for the other camps ( dur- dur ) ing 1927 . His Lockhart Camp was approximately twenty miles from the Indian Creek Camp and about eight miles by pack string , from the other camp to the end of the road . ( R . 2851 . ) He ( can't cant ) say that when he was camped at No . ( 1 I ) and also at No . 2 that he was ( not -not not ) advised when the Moab Garage boats were going to leave Moab and during this ( time thne ) he got practically all of his ( sup- sup ) plies by boat . When ( lie he ) was at Lockhart it was not necessary for him to ( make mahe ) special arrangements for a special trip as he did get one or two small assignments of supplies from go . 2 by taking supplies from the big barge at No . 2 camp and taking them to his camp at Lockhart with the little boat . If the Moab Garage boat had been employed to bring the supplies down after his initial trip it would have been necessary for him to have made special arrangements for them to make a special trip . The distance from Moab to Lockhart by the river he called forty miles . ( R . ( 2851-2852 2851-2S52 28512S52 ) . ) |
