He did not have a motor for each of the two boats brought down the Colorado, " there was only a motor for one boat; " the Colorado River canoe that they brought down was towed up." R. 294. " Q With respect to travelling over the rivers, Mr. Hoyt, comparing the two, if you can, from your experience on that trip, would you say that the impediments to travel were substantially the same on both rivers? " A Below the mouth of the San Rafael to Moab, yes, sir. " Q It would be as easy to go up in a boat of the character you used, or to go down in a boat of the character that you used on one river as on the other? " A I think so, yes, sir. " Q With the Green River as you went over it, you do not think there would have been any difficulty in going up to the mouth of the San Rafael with the large Moab boat, do you? " A Probably no more difficulty than we had going up the Colorado." R. 224. The San Rafael at that time of the year night have been emptying 10 or 15 second- feet - a very small stream. R. 294. It is a very long stream, but it has very little run- off. " As I said, there was not enough water in there to float an empty canoe." R. 295. |
