Beardilocks and I went to check out some more LPB (low probability bridge) locations that have been on my list for a while. The first was in a fairly drab canyon on the western slope of Tucki mountain. But it had one really nice section where I somehow managed to not flub the photo. I'm sure Beardilocks will post more about these hikes later.
We struck out on two locations I wanted to check that day, and went our separate ways. The next day I hiked up to a short slot that looked interesting by satellite. It started out shallow and wasn't looking too promising, but once I got past a few dryfalls, it got nice real fast.
And then I finally found a nice bridge! It's about 12 feet high and difficult to get a photo of, as most things are in a narrow space. Here's the best I could do.

It's not far off the beaten path and is somewhat fragile around the base, so no locations will be provided. A slightly tricky dryfall will stop most people at a spot in the canyon where it doesn't seem like there's much going on. This might be why it hasn't been documented until now (to my knowledge). Another great day in Death valley!
