BIOGRAPHICAL
HISTORY
: For this
trip
,
Tad

Lee
met
in

,
where
they were then
piloted
by

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

Canyon
Region
.
Tad
and
Katie
met
with
Frank
Wright
, and the
three
set
off
down
the

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

kingfishers
. Also,
Tad
noted
