Just last week as we were passing some dry washes, we were talking about how unlikely it seemed that it would flood in such a dry place. But the debris strewn about told the truth of the matter!

The thunderstorms in the Great Basin desert surprised me when I was first there. Northern Nevada's Ruby Mountains were so green the next day.
