what we REALLY need is a flight through the canyon to photograph it...
Ron, Google Earth. It's the source.
Of course the app does a much better job than this pic of course.
Same picture, marked up:
By all means, get Google Earth, if you don't already have it.

Bolting experts, a question or two...
What's the theory behind using the little blue plastic piece atop the sleeve? I mean why not just go with the metal sleeve all the way to the end? If you get my meaning...
What say you if I mounted a carbon steel hanger atop an SS bolt, is that a major faux pas in the business?
Thanks for your help.

If you remove the blue sleeve you may void the warranty therfore opening yourself up to a costly lawsuit

But you're neglecting the 20 sec rule: if you replace the blue sleeve within 20 seconds, you're good! ;)
Ron, I simply mean mixing an SS bolt and a CS hanger (for lack of an SS hanger) - would that get me bitch slapped by you guys?

Bill, Ive placed hundreds of cs bolts with ss hangers bitd and the only thing I've noticed is the washers rust a little paint the hangers if your worried about it if the two metals aren't in contact galvanic corrosionc shouldn't occur. If your going to spend the $$$$ on ss bolts why not fork out the extra buck for a compatible hanger?
You will probably be bitched slapped anyhow
