LOL, great post, Dazed! Thanks for the clips, too!
I'll have to take a look at your TR on No Name more closely. I like the idea of avoiding the long long slog from Salt Creek - some parts of that are rather tedious under foot. I might go back to Little Bridge Canyon. I haven't been there in at least 20 years, and when I did it with my daughter, we encountered 3 sheep pretty close to 190 on the way back. There's obviously a herd (flock?) of sheep, or at least a decent population, around Tucki, as I've seen a lot in the area. A few years ago we tried for Twin Spring, above Mosaic, which is obviously where they hang out (lots of evidence in a video I've seen) but I took a fall/slide while crossing between canyons so maybe unlikely to do that again.
That was actually a nasty fall. Going up a narrow ridge, the rock gave, and I found myself sliding on my belly, feet first, down toward a small cliff, and everything I grabbed broke off. Eventually I stopped sliding and fortunately had a companion who managed to give me enough of my hand that I could get out without sliding the rest of the way.
What do you estimate the mileage from 190 to the mouth of No Name to be?
