Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: For this trip, Tad Nichols and Katie Lee met in Sedona, where they were then piloted by Joe Moser in his Cessna 180 on a flight up to Hite Ferry. Their 1 1/2 hours in the air included circling Rainbow Bridge and following the Colorado River. Tad took advantage of this opportunity to get many aerial shots of the Glen Canyon Region. Tad and Katie met with Frank Wright, and the three set off down the river. 1956 was another low-water year: 2600 CFS, according to Tad's diary notes. 'Just a trickle from the San Juan' at the confluence; 'the lowest Frank has seen it.' Throughout the trip they saw bobcat, geese, white egrets, ducks, herons, and kingfishers. Also, Tad noted that they observed 'men scaling the walls at the dam site -- marking elevations for the bridge foundations.'
