Silver Canyon Landing, Catalina

Anybody have experience with Sliver Canyon Landing on the back side of Catalina? 

I believe this is the spot:

Can you land and camp there?

Thanks.

In Captain's absence I wanted to pose the question Apalach raised, would Crew (aka darn cat) go on the Catalina circumnavigation? Because I lacked security clearance, I was forced to wait in the front hall of the base and hope to catch Crew in passing.

Problem: Crew apparently has a thing about doors.

First, Crew never opens or closes a door. Perhaps understandable given crew physiology, but still it meant I could never catch Crew at the door for a brief word.

If the door was opening or closing, Crew would race at it full tilt and eel his body through the narrowest conceivable space at the first or last possible moment. It was always startling and caught me by surprise. I don't know how Crew timed it so precisely each time and can only guess it has something to do with cat-fu training.

If the door was standing open, Crew would sidle up, look through from one side, stroll away as if changing his mind, stop, look back, patrol across the opening a couple times, inspect one side and then the other, sniffing at something un-guessable, wag and wave his tail for no apparent reason (perhaps a military signal of some kind), then just when I gave up on trying to time my approach to him, Crew would idle slowly through without apparent purpose as if his entry or exit was an inadvertent afterthought. Until I approached or called his name, when he would rocket off on some presumably high priority secret mission.

On reflection it seems to me these behaviors are studied and precise techniques used by Crew to deal with anyone trying to pin him down. I know it worked on me, I failed in my mission, sorry Apalach.
