About fifty below, I could see something shiny under a tree.

Looks like the firewall.

A little bit the fuselage frame was attached to it.

Rumor has it that the engine was down in the bottom of the gorge. The gorge is only four hundred feet deep at this point so tried hiking down to look for it. When I got about half way down, it started getting really steep, almost vertical. Decided to look for it another day, hiking up the gorge from below.

Another view of the wing sections as I make my way back to the top.

When I got back up on the rim, noticed that from the right spot I could barely see a little of one of the wings.

Walking back to the truck. I hiked about a quarter mile along gorge looking for the crash site.

View of the Sierras as I drive on the dirt roads back to the highway.

THE END
