I came across this interesting account of our famous bandito, with references to Big T canyon, Little Rock Creek, Chilao, Hillyer, Arroyo Seco, etc:

Very interesting. The link to the version about Vasquez by Will Thrall is equally fascinating. Will Thrall by the way is the man for whom Thrall Peak is named.

I always heard that the loot/gold was jettisoned in Dark Canyon before crossing the saddle into Big T. Might be under debris at Brown Canyon Dam by now.
