Show 4143 McDonald- D 2163 pick, shovel, gold pans and our camping outfit, we packed down to the Green. Q At what point on the Green river? A We struck the Green on the east side, about half way between the San Rafael and Greenriver, Utah, today. Q Now, when you got to that point, where did you go? A We went across then below that, we forded the river at the first opening, and on to the Colorado, down below Cataract canyon. Q How did you get from the point where you crossed the green river down below Cataract canyon? A Crossed the top of the mesa to the north of it; you can ride across that anywhere in towards Hanksville, between there and the mouth of the Dirty Devil on the river, but you can't go down the river along Cataract canyon that way all the way. Q Let me see if I understand you. You went down in the river from the east side, then crossed over and came up on the west side? A Came up on the west side. Q Up on the mesa? A Up on the mesa. THE SPECIAL MASTER: How many years after the time when he took the boat on Grand river in 1887 was this he went down the Green river? |
