Show 4344 Loper- D 2364 A I did. Q And in what manner did you do that? A I lived with that river so much, it pretty near became a part of me; I would sit on the banks and watch it; I would boat it; I would do everything; about the only companion I had. Q Was anybody living with you there while you were in there? A How is that? Q Were you living alone? A Yes sir. Q During that seven years, how far above your ranch and how far below your ranch had you traveled on different occasions? A Up to that time I had traveled from Greenriver, Utah, to Lees Ferry. Q I am referring to right in the canyon; I am talking about your daily work around there. A I made numerous trips to the dredge, other trips to the Olympia bar, and a trip or two to the California bar; short trips like that, I never counted them trips. Q In those trips over that seven trips did you have an opportunity to observe, and did you observe the condition of the channel, sandbars, and so forth, at the various stages of the river? A Yes sir. |
