EISPIRATEN

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 cool

where's the loot? or gold?

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.
