There is a Bill Tuthill photo on page 102 of Wheat's book, Portaging
in the Black Canyon.
I've known them both since 1980. BT was our vet when we had dogs.

No, Bill Tuthill is a Colorado Springs Vetinarian. I have met two
others, Bill's dad, and the father of a lady who lived down the
street, 20 years ago. They were both from new England, and knew each
other in colledge.
I don't know our California Bill Tuthill, other than his posts here.

Anyone have info on who did the first descent? When? What equipment?
I wouldn't be surprised if one of you is out there listening right
now. Just interested for my own knowledge.

Fletcher Anderson refers to this run (Siverton to Rockwood), in his
book, Rivers of the Southwest. My copy is 1982.

Doug Wheat took a 10 year sabattical to research his book, released in
1983, and had run it numerous times before we built boats in Apr/May
1983. Sometime during this time, Bill Tuthill, of Colorado Springs,
climed out of the canyon with a dislocated shoulder. They had to walk
back in to get the boats and gear.

I wonder if this is the same Bill Tuthill that frequents RBP... I think
he now lives in California. He might be able to shed some light on this.
