Show Recreation-Touris- t Guide, May, 198921 4 31st Friendship Cruise is ready to set sail By ARVA SMITH Staff writer The 31st Annual Friendship Cruise, a river run from Green River to Moab, scheduled for Memorial Day weekend ranks with the countrys great boating experiences. The cruise goes down the pleasant Green River to the confluence of the mighty Colorado and up the river to Moab. The trip is 196 miles and usually takes two or three days. Many boaters take time to explore the many natural and historic sites along the way. Camping for Saturday, May 27, is generally at the large and beautiful Anderson Bottom, 100 miles downstream from Green River. Music, dancing, conversation and folklore go on until the wee hours. Boats will be launched May 26 and until noon on the next day at Green River State Park. participants may put their boats on the river any time prior to the official cruise dates and still receive Friendship Cruise services during the official cruise. Those not may register May 26 or 27 at the Green River firehouse. The $75 registration fee covers docking assistance at Pre-register- ed ed Green River State Park and at the Moab boat dock, transferring your vehicle and trailer from Green River to Moab, towing or rescue services if needed and radio communications for emergency messages at vit- al points along the two rivers. Gasoline sales depots will be in operation at Mineral Canyon, nearly 70 miles down river from the launch site, from Friday afternoon until Saturday night and then at MGM Bottom, about 20 miles below Moab, on Sunday. The greatest distance between fuel depots is almost 100 miles and boa- - ters must be equipped to travel at least that distance without refueling. Departure from Anderson Bottom on Sunday, May 28, takes place from early morning to midday for the second day of cruising through Utahs spectacular canyon country.
