General Discussion

Thousands of square miles of very flat land with heavy clay soil that absorbs water very slowly, meaning most water runs off. There are a few canyons which people hike. In school they told us that if you see storm clouds on the horizon it may be fifty miles away but get out of the canyon immediately. The runoff from all of that flat land can fill the hundred foot deep canyon before you can climb to the top. If you wait until the dry creek has a few inches of water in it you have already waited too long.
