Description	Following World War II, Belknap settled in Boulder City, Nevada with his wife Fran. They had two children, nicknamed Buzz and Loie. In 1947, he opened Belknap Photographic Services, the first of his two businesses. In the late 1940s, he met Otis 'Dock' Marston, an experienced river runner and highly acclaimed historian of the Colorado River. The two of them subsequently ran the Colorado River a number of times, the most notable trips being the 1950 motorboat run (the second motorboat run in history). BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: These notes document the second power boat trip down the Grand Canyon by Marston and Belknap in June 1950. The trip contained several adventures including the abandonment of Marston's Esmeralda II, and the need to leave the Hudsons behind to be rescued by helicopter. There are notes and stories about running each or the significant rapids: Badger; Soap Creek; President Harding; Kwagunt; Lava Canyon; Hance; Sockdologer; Hermit Falls; Boucher (where the Esmeralda's engina and clutch expire causing her to be abandoned); Crystal; Sapphire; Bedrock; Deubendorff; Supai; Lava Falls; Mile 205;
