Jim Shirley told the story of a happening in 1926, when his brother Joe was driving on the Dugway at Lee's Ferry. He encountered another car coming up and since they couldn't pass on the one-way road, the car coming up had to back down. They got acquainted before proceeding. The other car was driven by Governor Hunt. That was the only time Gov. Hunt ever "backed down" on a Colorado River project!
