Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: In Tad's journal for this trip, he recorded that the moon was full on their first night: 'Camp at Aztec Creek. Walk up into the bald rocks after dark. Full moon. Beautiful. Total Moon Eclipse about 3:30 AM.' On the second day he made note of the 'numerous ducks, heron, egret, and a few geese seen along the sand bars.' Due to wind and rain on the second night, they returned to their Aztec camp and 'people slept in caves and under tent. Thelma bothered by ring tail cats and a bobcat.' Tad also gave some information about this trip in a 1997 interview that was conducted during the Glen Canyon book project. He identified sites and told a few anecdotes. He particularly mentioned the wonderful time they all had in the mud at Dungeon Canyon: 'Slosh through it up to your knees, yes!' He also talked about 'Earls big flat boat,' the Tseh Na-ni-ah-go atin, and gave an interpretation of the name as 'The Way Up to Rainbow-- Go to the Rainbow. See, they take people to Rainbow Bridge.' Also significant in this interview are the names he listed of the people on the trip: Earl Johnson, Jack Hay, Bob and Jane Ward, Thelma Riegel, Puss Robotski or Vovodsky [phonetic spellings], and Sally [Spencer] Greenleaf.
