Sand waves usually occur during high water in May and June and during the cloudburst season in the fall of the year. He has seen sand waves last for probably a day, the next day they would be gone, water would be shallow and the sand seemed to have flattened out on the bottom. R. 1183- 1184. He has never been to Lockhart from Moab overland but was down Indian Creek ones to repair a truck. The main highway from Moab is a good road but the road down Indian Creek is rough. At the time he went down, material was being hauled in to the drilling locations on Indian Creek. The country to the left of the road between Moab and Greenriver, Utah, is quite rough and contains sand and rock. So far as he knows, no one lives there. there is one place along the road between Greenriver and Moab, about half way, where it looks as if someone had tried to farm lands. The had constructed a little reservior to catch run- off water for irrigating purposes. He imagined there were five or six sections of pretty good land in that vicinity. He very often used one of the smaller boats to make trips from Moab to the oil wells and back. With the twenty- seven feet boat considerable trouble was encountered in shallow places if they were loaded. R. 1185- 1187. |
