Show 5305 Chaffin- D 3316 in that trip? A It did down from below the mouth of the San Rafael to pretty near the other river, off and on. We struck the other river. We went up as far as Moab and back. I don't remember having any trouble at all going up there. I don't remember ever getting up against anything that was any trouble. Q Going from the mouth of the Green river up to Moab, how did you take that boat up? A We left one boat there. We had two boats. We left one there, and took the other boat and went up. One rowed and the other poled, like ordinarily getting up such streams. We got up and lined her some little. No place you couldn't row and pole your boat right on up, as I remember. Q Have to tow it any? A I did tow it. I didn't have to. I don't think any place a man would have to get out of his boat and tow it, at that time of year, unless he wanted to. As I remember, he could pole right along that river. Q Was that a prospecting trip? A Yes sir, placer prospect up there. Q Did you go clear into the town of Moab? A Yes sir. Q Did you go above Moab? A No sir. |
