Show 4385 Loper- D 2405 Q In all the time you have been familiar with Glen Canyon in and about Hite, Tickaboo, and Good Hope bar, have you noticed any physical changes either of the bank or in the river? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Just what do you mean by physical changes? He has already testified as to bars. Do you mean any other kind of physical changes? MR. BLACKMAR: I was directing his attention par-ticularly to any changes of this Olympia bar, and Tickaboo, and Good Hope. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Have you noticed any changes on these bars that Mr. Blackmar; speaks of, other than changes you have already testified to? A The big change is below the San Juan; that is the big change. My two trips were twenty- two year apart. My first trip was in 1907 and 1908; the last one, this year;-- twenty- one years and something. The time I made the trip up the river in 1908, in February, there was no place in Glen canyon that you couldn't walk along one side or the other of the river, but today there are numerous places where the river extends from wall rock to wall rock; the bars or the bottoms have entirely disappeared. |
