Y. This offer is valid only till Feb. 29th, 1948 in the afternoon. One thing which certainly played hob with my continuity was that stopping places on the Colorado are practically non-existent. I had planned a number of sequences for our camping places and had to chuck them all. Where we could stop, the terrain was so rough that we could get over it only with difficulty. It was either so rough with rocks that you couldn't climb over it cr so dense with poison ivy that you couldn't get through. My Special with tripod and accessories weighed about twenty five or thirty pounds and my Speed Graphic and its stuff almost as much. I don't know what I would have done without Harris's help. He carried my Graphic almost everywhere we went. That weight probably doesn't sound, very heavy to some of you, but sprinkle in some extremely rough terrain and temperatures of 115 to 120 degrees and it will soon get heavy. Take the time, for instance, when we hiked to Rainbow Bridge. Six miles up and six miles back over the roughest country that God ever made. No doubt the cloudburst the night before — which poured a wall of water down Aztec Creek eight or ten feet high — made it a little rougher than usual, but I doubt if it's a picnic at any time. Rainbow Bridge was worth it though. In fact, I believe it would be worth it if you had to cover the distance on your hands and knees. I shall never forget how I felt when I finally trudged over that last sand hill and viewed the Bridge for the first time. What a sight! The sky was just clearing from the storm of the night before: steamy clouds floated lazily across the face of Navajo Mountain. But words are not adequate to describe the spectacle. I shall say only that, aside from shooting the rapids, Rainbow Bridge was easily the outstanding experience of the trip. But it was really to get pictures of the rapids that I made the trip, and that is why I insisted that the journey include Cataract Canyon. Men long familiar with the river assured me that Cataract Canyon was its roughest section. Although it did not offer so many rapids as Grand Canyon, the river here was supposed to drop more feet to the mile and the rapids were said to be a little rougher. I think that our boatmen, Don Harris and Jack Brennan, were chuckling with glee when we camped just above the rapids in Cataract Canyon. These are extremely noisy, and their roar was a sombre threat throughout the long night. You recalled that twenty nine men already had lost their lives in this stretch of savage water — and you pulled your sleeping bag about you more closely.
