Show 4214 Allen- D 2235 Q Do you recall what day you started on this expedition? A Started in the river, or started our expedition? Q In on the river. A July 18, 1921, was when we put the boats on the water. Q At what point, Mr. Allen? A I t is about three miles below Bluff; I don't know the exact location. Q How had your party gotten to that location on the river? A We had to bring the equipment in a truck from Greenriver or Thompson, as the case may be; they were able to go up to this location on the river on the road towards Mexican Hat; that is as far as they were able to go with the load; there we shoved the boats into the water. Q How did you, personally, come in? A it was part walk, part ride, all the way. Q Beg pardon? A Partly walking, partly riding in a Ford we used as we were carrying the map. Q You had come from Thompson, or Greenriver? A We carried our line of elevation from Moab, Utah. Q What stage of water was there in the San Juan river when you first saw it? |
