<br />.MR. DUTCHER: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />MR. DUTCHER: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Thank you, I'm not the chairman, .I'm <br />just a member of the committee. Do you want <br />me to tell you what the plans are, Ben?" <br /> <br />"Yes, that would be best." <br /> <br />"The present plans are substantially as <br />follows, as we have them lined up. After your <br />meeting, those of you who have your own cars'i <br />of course, can use them, and those of you who <br />do not have cars, we have seven or eight cars, <br />or even more if necessary, and we will see <br />that you will be taken through the canyon. <br /> <br />As I understand it, you expect to close <br />this meeting sometime right after eleven <br />o'clock. The group will gather then outside <br />and you will proceed to Sapinero. The Bureau, <br />Jake or some of the other Bureau officials, . <br />or Larry or someone, are going to show the <br />group exactly where the two dam sites are <br />through the canyon. I suppose they will look <br />at the upper dam site first and then about the <br />only place to have lunch and park all these <br />cars in the canyon is down by what is known <br />as the old railroad station house, which is <br />approximately five miles below the mouth of <br />the canyon. In other words, approximately <br />five miles below Sapinero. Now that's after <br />they show you the upper dam. vlouldn't that <br />be the thing to do, Larry? To go to the <br />upper dam site first and then on down to the <br />station house? <br /> <br />There's where we will have lunch. There <br />will be box lunches. Then you will travel on <br />down to the next dam site and I can't tell you <br />just exactly where that will be but again Larry <br />or the Bureau officials will show you, Gil <br />there, I see, and Kuip, can show you where the <br />second dam site is. <br /> <br />After you go through the canyon, which <br />is going to be rather rough, (however, we've <br />had a grader take off the main rocks), then <br />you'll travel down to Cimarron and back over <br />the Blue Mesa Highway, which is an oiled high- <br />way, to what is known as the McKelvey's Lodge, <br />The McKelvey's Lodge is located just ten miles <br />west of the Gunnison city here, right on the <br />river. \lfe will gather at the McKelvey's Lodge <br />at approximately six o'clock or as soon there- <br />
