S.hiker,I enlarged your photo #155,looks like their might be a squared opening on the cliff face{r.side},so maybe their is a other entrance below/or above.Sure you thought of it.

Yes, there are a number of openings at the back of the crevice.
Should be interesting to see what it's about, once I can get past the brush and all the way up there for a closer look.
This shot is looking down at a lower opening......

One thing is for sure . EC never did the measurements from the saguaro in the Needle Canyon . For unknow reasons , he was confused and " saw " another saguaro from another place .
Maybe he had put in his mind as priority the LDM and started from there to search for the nearest marked saguaro .

Which mine is this? Anyone ever just look for tailings/out of place talus slopes. You can see the needle in the background upper left, it fits some of the maps and has a trail you can see going to it even on google earth. A bit of a hike up the ridge and back down in your hot weather though. Anyone explored this location much?
