Show 93S During the same summer lie had the drilling ( out- out ) ¬ fit at the junction of the Green and Colorado Rivers . . He boated between the junction and Moab in a ( sixteen-foot sixteenfoot ) launch , , operated by a man named Anderson ; the launch , , as he recalls , drawing about fifteen inches of water . He made several trips up the Grand ( Colorado ) River from the junction , but only one , as he recalls , through to Moab . ( R . 3695 . ) That stretch of the Colorado River was essentially the same as the Green River , although the current is a little swifter , as he recalls it . The water , if ( any- any ) thing , carried more suspended matter . He has a very vivid recollection of the ( "slide" slide ) a few miles above the junction , which was a serious obstacle to navigation . He thought it would be necessary to line the rapid , but the boat went through under its own power . As he recalls , difficulties were encountered on the trips up and down that part of the river , , but he is not perfectly sure of it . In the fall of 1915 he was on the lower Colorado River , from Hite , Utah , to Lees Ferry . . ( ( R . 3696 . ) He went to Hite from Greenriver , , ( Utah Utab ) , with a team , by way of the Henry Mountains , , and trailed down a wash , the name of which he does not recall . . As he recalls , he had a boat that was obtained by Mr . . Wimmer , who accompanied him on the trip . The boat belonged at one time to a a man named Stone , who had left it at Hite , as it had been wrecked . . |
