Show LOCAL COUPLE COMPLETE HAZARDOUS TRIP Thrilled by a successful trip down the rapids of the Green River from Lily, Colo., to Jensen, Jen-sen, Mr. and Mrg. Roy Despain with two other couples, Mr. and Mrs. Bus Hatch of Vernal and Mr. and Mrs. Westley N. Ed-dington Ed-dington of Salt Lake Ciy, ar- j rived at their home here early this week. The boats in which the hazard- j ous trip was made, were constructed con-structed by Mr. Despain at the local mill and were built the same at both ends so that when they were spun around by river currents, no adjustments were necessary. Both boats gave almost al-most perfect performance and the whole trip though filled with much danger, and many thrills, proved one of pleasure. The party took motion pictures pic-tures along the way, some of which are believed to be the first taken of the wild and picturesque pictures-que Green River from the river. The group on their return, announced an-nounced that they plan an even more hazardous trip Tater in the summer down the Salmon river in Idaho. |
