Lee at another small pour-off. We scrambled this one via the ramp at the right side of the image.

Lee checking the map at a section near a point where three canyons converge in a short distance. Route selection there is crucial if you want to find Jack's Pass and drop into Dominguez Spring via the shortest route.

This old gate is in the fence line that runs down the canyon just W of Jack's Pass. The fencing wire is not barbed wire, it is what I'm used to calling "hog wire" - rectangular openings about 6"wide and maybe 4" tall. We wondered about the type of fencing and thought it was likely used for sheep. We learned later from Raymond (Lee's friend who is the wildlife biologist for the National Park) that there were somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 goats run around Dominguez Springs! Thus the type of wire might have been for goats. It would have been terrible country to try and build and maintain goat-proof fencing.
