The two you're missing are Jenson Bridge (in Mummy Canyon) and Tucki Bridge.
Thank you for working on this list!

Thank you! It was driving me crazy. Now off to visit them :-)

A worthy quest! Some are easy... some a piece of work!

Somehow Jenson was totally unknown to me so I need to go see it. Of the others, the only one I haven't located or been to is Cavern, but the good news is that DV has a finite area, so finding it is inevitable!

I don't know that one myself.
As for DV being finite... I find it is a fractal-like landscape - the more you see of it, the more you realize you haven't yet seen!

There are some recent trip reports on Mummy Canyon. On the way in, look closely at the rocks facing you. One will tell you where the name Jensen comes from.

Good point, MojaveGeek! I like the fractal analogy
Brice, I know that Cavern Bridge is in one of the side-slots in the Sidewinder Canyon area, and it cannot be accessed from the main canyon due to a tall, loose dry-fall. I think I recall from Steve Hall's trip reports (and this is testing my memory here!) that it's in one of the first major slots, but I could be remembering wrong, and finding a route into that side-slot from above is challenging especially because of the loose nature of the terrain. I hope you're able to find this bridge!

Wow thanks for the lead! I'll check it out this winter.

When I wrote that I wasn't sure everyone would understand what I meant, but no surprise you do, Kauri!!
