A Photo Rematch at 24.5 Mile...
The photo we are rematching is of Mary Abbott as she stands next to Dock Marston's boats at the foot of 24.5 Mile Rapid in Marble Canyon on the Colorado River on June 10, 1958. The river flow is about 95,000 cubic feet per second. The photo is courtesy The Huntington Library, San Marino, California, and is from Dock Marston Volume 1. pg 449.
My rematch is not too far off. The foreground rock on the left is a perfect match. A lot of the sand that was there in 1958 is gone and the person in my photo is lower than where Mary Abbott was standing. But there you have it...
