Description |
BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: On September 17, 1957, fourteen people in four Mexican Hat Expeditions boats (the Music Temple, the Redbud, the Nokai, and the Moonlight) set out from Hite Ferry for a week of boating through Glen Canyon. This expedition was sponsored by the Northern Arizona Society of Science and Art and by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. The crew consisted of Ned Danson (Assistant Director of the Museum of Northern Arizona and trip archaeologist), Bill Woodin (Director of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, part-time Curator of Reptiles and Amphibians at MNA, and trip zoologist), Beth Woodin (Bill's wife), Horace Haskell (research associate at MNA and trip botanist), Tad Nichols (trip photographer), Mary Jane Nichols (trip ornithologist), Rukin Jelks (trip geologist), Mrs. Jelks, Lucy Arnold, Rosalind Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Lee Milton, and boatmen Frank Wright and Gay Staveley. Tad's notes for this trip are brief; he simply names the sites visited, refers to much wind throughout their entire time on the river, mentions an aurora one night, and ends with writing on September 24: 'Arr. Dam site at dusk--eerie feeling. Trucks & dust--lights on walls... Waited for...truck in water & sand--after blast, went thru [sic].' |
