What I Watched -- Martin's Boat

I recently returned from an amazing trip through the Grand Canyon.  More about that later.

While there, though, I learned must about Martin Litton.  He was an interesting guy, and revered in the Canyon as a champion for the preservation of natural places.

Among his other achievements, which were many, he pioneered the running of dories down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.  He passed away in 2014, and OARS/Grand Canyon Dories dedicated one of their hand-build dories in his honor.

She's named the Marble Canyon, which is a former proposed dam site on the river between Glen Canyon and the Hoover.  Litton fought hard against the building of the dam, and succeeded for the time being.  Surely, though, the issue will come up again.

Martin's Boat is a brief history of Martin's life and river running through the Canyon.  It's about 25 minutes long, and well worth the time if you have any interest in Canyon or boating  or natural history.

Bottom line: see prior sentence.
