Show 5062 F. Johnson- D 3074 Q Do you recall the month that you returned to Lees Ferry? A The month? Q Yes. A It was in December, I believe. Q How many were in your party going down stream? A From Rock canyon we went down I would judge about twenty miles, where our other camp was; stayed there, I believe, two days. In our first twenty miles there was five of us, in the party. We were all in this one boat down the first twenty miles. Q Then when you started from there, from that camp, how long did it take you to get in to Lees Ferry? A Just about a day and a half or a little over a day and a half. Q On that trip down did you encounter any difficulties with the sandbars? A Yes sir. Q Can you tell me about at what points? A The first one was just below what is known as the Mexican bar. I couldn't attempt to say just how far, probably not more than a mile or so below the Mexican bar. Then, at another point on the river , I am not certain as to just where that was, we landed and we had to get out, work our boat off |
