Show P. Galloway- D 1133 Q Between that point and Lees Ferry did you encounter any rapids or riffles? A Yes, there was a great many riffles, and some would be considered rapids. Q Did you ever try to bring a boat up from Lees Ferry? A No sir, never did. Q What sections have you been on the Colorado river between Colorado state line and the point where the Green river flows into the Colorado. A I have been over the entire thing from Westwater, which I understand is not far from the Colorado line, to the junction of the Green and Colorado. Q Just tell me about that trip from Westwater down to Moab, and the difficulties that you encountered, if any. A There were plenty in that little canyon, Westwater canyon; the rapids are as bad in there as there is in the Grand canyon. After we got out of the canyon we had gravel bars and sandbars, from there on down, and some more rapids between there and Moab. Q In your opinion would it be possible to take a boat up that stream from Moab? A To Westwater? Q Yes. A No sir. Q How far could you take a boat up that stream? A You could go from Moab up ten or fifteen miles, I believe, 3105 |
