After leaving Narrow Canyon, they didn't wear life preservers. R. 1807. In the section below Narrow Canyon they also encountered quite a few riffles. Some of the time they had hard rocks, other times bars with gravel on them, and when they hit these places they would always have to get out and push; perhaps not every day, maybe some of the boats would get through, but some would get stuck. They were not re- supplied between Greenriver, Utah, and Lees Ferry, but they did get some supplies at Lees Ferry. R. 1807- 1808. Between Greenriver, Utah, and Lees Ferry, Arizona, they saw one boat tied up to the brush above the Hole-in- the- Rock, and they met three Indians somewhere near the same place; but outside of that, they saw no one else in this entire portion of the trip.
