Show they were not large waves . 20 Between there and the mouth of the San Juan River I recall an instance when I took a boat through a small rapid . Both boats struck rock at this point and the one I was operating split because of faulty construction of the boat . ( R . 885-7 , Vol . 5 . ) We portaged the boat around one rapid at a point 11 miles above the mouth of the San Juan . This was the only portage we made and we did not have to line the boats through any other rapid . Once in a while I observed that a boat was stuck on a sand bar . ( R . 888 , Vol . 5 . ) After we reached the Colorado River Bert Loper and I made a boat trip up the Colorado River to ( Hole-in-the-Rock HoleintheRock ) , and all the party came back with us in the boat to our camp at the mouth of the San Juan . ( R . 891 , Vol . 5 . ) In boating from the mouth of the San Juan down to Oak Creek we had no great ( diffi diffi- diffi ) culties and I do not recall any special instance where we were stuck on sand bars so that we had to get out and push the boat . Then we continued on to Lees Ferry . ( R . 892 , Vol . 5 . ) In that stretch we were at one place stuck on a mud bar as a result of my poor judgment . The survey party left Bluff on July 18 or 19 , 1921 , and the date of our arrival at Lees Ferry was the 19th of December , 1921 . ( R . 893 , Vol . 5 . ) While working on the survey , supplies were delivered overland to the party . ( R . 894 , Vol . 5 . ) In 1928 ( I 1 ) accompanied Mr . Hoyt on his trip from Green River , Utah , to Moab . ( R . 911 , Vol . 5 . ) The large motor boat that met us at the junction made it up through the Slide very easily . ( R . 924 , Vol . 5 . ) Our boat encountered a submerged bar there , so that I had to drift down and when I started up again had no difficulty in getting through . ( R . 925 , Vol . 5 . ) When I made my first trip from Green River to Moab in the gasoline launch there were several others in the party and we had our beds and supplies on board . ( R . 931-4 , Vol . 5 . ) My father has owned and ( oper oper- oper ) ated two power boats that I know of on the river . ( R . 935 , Vol . 5 . ) The 1909 trip was taken at comparatively low water . ( R . 936 , Vol . 5 . ) On my trip ( witR with ) Mr . Hoyt I purposely put my boat in a position where Mr . Hoyt could see and study a bar and on a great many occasions started the boat on to a bar for this purpose . ( R . 938 , Vol . 5 . ) On my trip with Mr . Hoyt down from Green River , Utah , to the San Rafael , the water was lower than it had been since the spring ( flow-off flowoff ) . ( R . 944 , Vol . 5 . ) Mr .
