If Steve wants to turn his content into a book or monetize it some other way, that's great! However having a free site that keeps track of the known bridges and other major features would sure be useful for us explorers. I seem to remember there were a few "unconfirmed" bridges that people sent him that he listed on his website and now that information is gone. It would be a shame to have lost stuff like that.
Hell, maybe I'll make a new site to keep track...
Yes, that formation was on Steve's site. I remember emailing him about it since it was in a TR of his but not on his Natural Bridges page; I can't remember why he said he didn't add it to his bridges page.
I think a DV natural formations database is a great idea!! I've thought of adding such a page to my website but never had the time. I'd be happy to share info on the natural bridges etc. I'm aware of if you or anyone else on here decides to make such a database; just please be patient with me
I'm a graduate student currently on the job market, and it seems I'm always busy with that or catching up on other responsibilities.

Caltopo shows this coordinate as being in the Confidence Hills. If so, I don't recall any previous mention of it, but to be honest I've not "collected" bridge sightings, as I don't really consider a bridge in fanglomerate to be more than an ephemeral feature.
Ah ha yes Confidence hills, not chloride hills. I was preparing to go to chloride city the next day and had it on the brain!
