BLACKMAR: Q Do you recall that stretch of the river called Narrow canyon? A Yes sir. Q Tell me about the progress through that.

Q Did you run all the water in Narrow canyon? A Yes sir. Q Tell me the progress of the trip from the end of Narrow canyon down to Lees Ferry, or what difficulties, if any, you encountered in he operation of the boats. A The only difficulties we encountered there was grounding on sandbars. |
