| Description |
Photo taken aboard a boat on Lake Mead, during the Nevills 1938 Green and Colorado Rivers expedition. This is probably the 20-foot power boat the Navajo, with Buzz Holmstrom at the controls. He came up the lake on August 1 to tow the three cataract boats through the calm waters of Lake Mead so the expedition didn't have to row the distance |
